ABC Fighters suffered a second setback this Thursday in the Elite 16. Chaux Sport won (88-85) against Karim Mané and his teammates on the last day of the group stages at the Palais des Sports in Treichville.
Qualification for the next Africa Basketball League (BAL) was marked by a thunderclap with the defeat of the Ivorian team of Abidjan Basket Club, beaten at its bases by the little thumb of the Chaux Sport group. This Wednesday, we expected the Ivorian champions to confirm their great victory against Moanda Basket this Wednesday. However, this was not to be the case, as Mamadou Badji and his teammates were beaten by a fascinating Chaux Sport team, with a four-point advantage at the break (39-35).
In the second period, the Congolese once again confirmed their advantage from the first half by largely gaining their distance with a twelve point lead (68-56) in the third quarter. During the last quarter, the Ivorian team tried to come back to the score, but it was not effective and they therefore had to concede defeat with a deficit of three points. Despite this setback, ABC Fighters consolidates its second place behind Stade Malien and will face Al Ahly Tripoli in the semi-final this Saturday, November 9, who dominated the other group with three consecutive victories.
