Breogán Secures Second Victory of the Season in ACB League

Lugo’s CB Río Breogán Defeats Joventut Badalona

Breogán alleviated its serious crisis by clinching their second victory of the season in the ACB League on matchday nine. They achieved this feat against a Joventut Badalona team that continues to struggle with numerous injuries and poor performance. Despite putting up a fight, Joventut fell short in the final minutes of the game.

The Lugo team initially built a comfortable 16-point lead (48-32), but Guillem Vives and Andrew Andrews kept Joventut alive with their impressive performances. Joventut’s zonal defense posed challenges for Breoganista attack, raising doubts about their ability to secure the win.

Veljko Mrsic, the coach of Breogán, called a timeout after a 2-11 run by Joventut, reducing the deficit to seven points (50-43). However, the zonal defense continued to stifle Breogán’s offense, and the hot hands of Andrews and Vives added to their woes. Joventut managed to regain control of the scoreboard, leading 61-67 after five consecutive points from Pep Busquets.

Mrsic took a risk by fielding a small lineup against Joventut’s zone defense. Four consecutive three-pointers, three from Momirov and one from Jogéla, brought the game to a tie with just over three minutes remaining (73-73). Joventut struggled to find their rhythm on offense, while Sergi García’s layup and another three-pointer from Jogéla extended Breogán’s lead. Carles Duran, the coach of Joventut, called a timeout (78-73), but this time Río Breogán held on to secure the victory they desperately needed.
