WE’RE IN THE FINAL! 💪🇲🇹👍

Our men’s team 🇲🇹 have reached the final of the FIBA European Championship for Small Countries after beating Gibraltar 🇬🇮 85-79

Malta 🇲🇹 stepped up their game when it mattered, winning the first two quarters 21-20 and 25-16 to head for half-time 10 point ahead. The third was also keenly-contested with Gibraltar trying to claw back the deficit but the Maltese team held firm to build a 13-point advantage – 68-55.

The game was not over though as Gibraltar upped their performance in the final set, coming within four points of Malta with four minutes left (74-70) but a Nathan Xuereb basket eased the pressure.

This was followed by two converted free throws from David Bugeja as Malta went eight points clear before sealing the win with two late Deguara free throws.

Deguara again played a prominent role in Malta’s win, scoring 25 points for Duncan Fenech’s team. He was followed by Kurt Cassar on 15.

Malta will play the winner of the second semi-final between hosts Andorra and San Marino in tomorrow’s final.
