AFROBASKET LIBYA 2009 ANGOLA 82 - COTE D'IVOIRE 72
Angola proved once again that they're the best on the african continent with no contest by winning the 25th African Championship for Men in Libya.
The first quarter started with the furia of the Ivorians,they came to this big battle without any intimidation, they showed that they wanted that championship title by leading the first quarter with four points ahead (19 - 15)
In the second quarter Amagou Philippe, Eric Tape were unstoppable playing good basket they were all over the court worrying the Angolese and at the half time the board was showing (35 - 34) for the Ivorians.
The third quater has always been for Angola in this Championship they started to find the basket with Carlos Morais who made three 3points on the road to put Angola ahead and Joaquim Gomes the MVP of this Championship fighting on the board to take all the rebound. End of the quarter (58 - 54) for Angola.
By seeing that the Ivorians fought to come back in the game with their big man Mohamed Kone making some good shots to tie the game but with the pressure of the Angolese and the inexperience of the young Ivorians Angola came out with the win ( 82 - 72).
To give my opinion this Ivorian team impress me a lot if they play together more often something different is going to happen in the next championship I don't want to tell what but let's wait and see. It was a good championship,teams showed some interesting games.
