Albania knocked down
Aleksander Yanev
In the second day of the SouthEastern European Games in Thessaloniki, Bulgarian Juniors (U 18) national team defeated their opponents from Albania with 81-67 (31-8, 14-19, 18-23, 19-17).
After the disastrous loss from our neighbours Turkey yesterday by 21 points, today the players of head coach Yulian Aladzhov came out highly motivated and deserved that win. The Bulgarians performed marvelous during the first quarter (31-8), crushing the outsiders from Albania. Until the end of the fight they did not have any problems and it was clear for everyone in the gym who the winner would be. The Albanians tried to change the situation on the court, but they had strengths only for a 14-point-difference.
For the team of Bulgaria, the best again was Aleksander Yanev who scored 28 points. Kyosev added 21, while Marincheshki and Zhelev finished with 15 points each.
For Albania, Ismeti scored 23 points and his teammate Tzani made 21.
The other game from preliminary group A today is Turkey versus Montenegro. Tomorrow our guys will play the last game of the first stage of the competition. At 17.00h they face their coevals from Montenegro.
