On the pitch, Angers did not do well against another French team, Flammes Carolo, this Wednesday in the fourth day of the Eurocoupe (84-63). The two teams were almost even for two quarters, before the Angevins accelerated strongly and won the last two periods (25-17 and 24-10), earning their third victory in four meetings. Flammes Carolo and Angers are now leading Group L with 7 points.
Even Lattes Montpellier did not tremble at home to overcome the Czechs of Zabiny Brno (84-72). Basically ahead at the interval (54-30), the Héraultaises slightly lowered their foot in the final, allowing their opponents to reduce the gap. But the women of Montpellier pocket a fourth success in as many matches and aim for the top of group K.
Asvel was hot
Also in group K, Asvel was very scared on the parquet of the Spaniards from Gipuzkoa. The two formations followed one another throughout the match ending regulation time in perfect equality (61-61). It was therefore in the draw that the narrow victory of the Villeurbannaises took shape, who won by a very small point (71-70), and moved into second place.
Fifth and last French club in the running this Wednesday evening, Roche Vendée lost on the parquet of the Italians of Sassari (77-65). Even if they reacted well in the second quarter, returning to within four points of their opponents, the Vendées suffered the transalpine law after the break, suffering their third defeat in four games. They are last in group J, where Villeneuve d’Ascq also plays, away on Thursday in London.
