Al-Ahly club has returned strongly to the atmosphere of the Zain Bahrain Basketball League, after it achieved an exciting victory in the second match at the expense of Al-Muharraq Club with a score of 77-72 after the extension of the extra time, to equal the final series 1-1, which is held with the best system of five games, where the title is crowned the team that achieves 3 wins, and ended the original time in a 68-68 draw.
Al-Muharraq had entered the match in the series after his great victory in the first meeting with a score of 101-87, which put Al-Ahly under great pressure to avoid the delay of 0-2, which would have weakened his chances of competition for the title, but Al-Ahly showed a strong personality, and the heart of expectations in a match that witnessed great excitement and strong tactical performance from both sides.
Despite the balanced start between the two teams, the confrontation witnessed a long -term superiority for a long time before we witnessed some exciting fluctuations in the last quarter, then the match needed additional time after the end of the original time in a draw, before Al -Ahly resolved it in favor of him by five points.
The victory came as a result of the fighting spirit and defensive organization, in addition to the good use of the Muharraq professionals, Sir Dominic and Miron Gordon, who were absent from the meeting due to the injury, which clearly affected the offensive performance of the Muharraq.
The meeting was attended by a large public presence from both sides, in the Khalifa Sports City Hall, where the fans filled the stands with songs and continuous support, and Al -Ahly fans had a clear role in sharpening the players, who celebrated with them at the end of the match in an enthusiastic atmosphere.
