The Girona Basketball senior continues to make Fontajau a stronghold. Today, Barberà Team Values ​​prevailed (63-62), in a game that had many alternatives and was decided by Xavi Costa with a counterpunch after a Manchón recovery with 2.6 seconds left. The result allows the team led by Quim Costa to return to victory and maintain third position in the EBA CA group, with a 14-7 record.

The people from Girona have never been comfortable and the rival has taken the initiative in the start. Not even the mastery of the offensive rebound allowed him to find a scoring rhythm, especially since there was no success from the outside. The Barberà Team Values, on the other hand, located it in the figure of Ivan Llull, who had already accumulated 15 points at halftime. A fact that has allowed him to go to the dressing room with a slight advantage (36-39). The passing of the minutes accentuated the equality and Básquet Girona was not at all fine in attack, nor with free kicks. The visitors opened a small hole in the middle of the last quarter (55-59, 36′), but the team continued to work and came alive in the last minute (61-62). A loss a few seconds from the end when facing the ring in a counterattack seemed to be the final blow, but in the subsequent action, in the same service on the sideline, it was possible to recover the ball and score the basket that would be the of victory And the visitors would fail in the last action.

Next Saturday, March 24, the senior will visit the Coalci Sant Josep track (6 p.m.), in the last game before the Easter break.
