A dream performance for Sisas Pallacanestro Perugia who beat Elite Roma 66-52, catching the Lazio team at the top and equaling the difference in goals after 73-59 in the first leg. Now the red and whites will be on stage in Frascati in the last playoff match, next Sunday away at 8pm.
Romane immediately took the lead with Uggen but Olajide immediately equalized the scores. Then Lucila Cragnolino and Beatrice Olajide hit two triples, one after the other, which warmed up the crowd at PalaPellini, with many girls from the youth sector in the stands.
Elite takes the lead again but coach Posti’s red and whites. Olajide again for the first overtaking at 10-8 then the third triple of the first quarter, scored this time by Federica Manganello, suggests that it will be a Saturday to remember at PalaPellini. First quarter ends at 18-10 and at the start of the second quarter Falkowska and Parolai take care of keeping the right distance. Cragnolino scores another triple which makes it 28-22 and PalaPellini is bedlam.
Olajide’s bomb sends the two teams at halftime at 34-23 with skyrocketing cheers. We start again in the third quarter and the undisputed star is still Lucila Cragnolino with two bombs in a row, there will be 4 in total, which sets the score at 48-33. Then when Matilde Parolai’s triple arrives, there is a new break at 51-38. In the last quarter the Roman team reacted with pride and scored a partial score of 0-6. Time out called by Posti and double triple by Elite, with Sestito and Panniello, which makes it 51-47.
Chiara Pollini’s two triples are oxygen for the red and whites who are on +10. It is the decisive thrust that crushes the Romans’ dreams of a comeback. Posti shouts to his team: “Until the end” and in the final there is also time for another bomb from Chiara Pollini and for Agnese Soli’s basket which closes the contest at 66-52.
