The national team of Teenagers… stepped on the gas in the last period, beat me 77-61 the North Macedonia and it will be for positions 9-12, having stayed in the first category.
The good start of the Greek team (8-16 in 6’20”, 10-18 in 7’40”) did not discourage its opponents.
Taking advantage of the gaps in the defense and mistakes of the Greek players the North Macedonians reduced (22-23, 11′), equalized (27-27, 14’50”) and overtook (37-36, 19′).
The derby continued with Greece having the upper hand, but in the fourth quarter they had to… step on the gas to give the difference a double-digit value with 52-54 (30’20”) to become 56-74 (38′) by Vangeli Zougribefore the match ended with the final 61-77.
The quarters: 17-23, 39-38, 50-54, 61-77
