Africa-Press – Angola. 1.o de Agosto won, this Friday, the Angola Cup in senior women’s basketball, with a victory over Interclube, by 62-53.
In a game played at the Pavilhão da Cidadela, in Luanda, the current champion was trailing at half-time, by 22-29.
With this triumph, the RI-20 team brings the number of trophies in the competition to 16, compared to nine from their opponents, winners of the last edition.
Cristina Matiquite, from 1.o de Agosto, was the best player of the match (MVP) with a double-double, that is, 18 points scored and 14 rebounds, being mainly responsible for the achievement.
The challenge was completely balanced with alternating moments of supremacy for each of the players, with, however, a slight rise for the Interclube team.
It was after the break that the “soldiers” led the reversal of the situation, taking over the operations on the court themselves, under the leadership of a recently appointed coach, Paulo Macedo, replacing Walter Costa.
