Bittersweet victory

The team wins but fails to overcome the average and does not reach the final of the Catalan League

First Team | Friday, 19 September 2025

The Girona team was the clear dominator of the first period, reversing the initial 7-0 Manresa with a 2-21 run with great success from the triple and with great defensive intensity. In the second quarter, however, Manresa returned to the game with the good outside dynamic of an inspired Alex Reyes that allowed them to be three points behind at halftime.

The dizzying pace continued in the second half, in which the two teams were able to run and exchange baskets in a very even half, with a special presence in the paint. In the last quarter, Girona managed to extend their lead to ten points, but a final reaction from Manresa and, despite having the final option with a three-pointer to get the lead, were unable to reach the final of the Catalan League ACB.
