Wheelchair basketball: Victory in Cacém secures place in the final phase | OneFootball

The FC Porto wheelchair basketball team traveled to the Abelheira Municipal Pavilion, in Cacém, to face APD Sintra in the 11th round of the National Championship.

In a demanding match, with no room for ease, the Dragons controlled the decisive moments and secured a 63-57 victory in a fiercely contested duel from the first to the last minute.

The partial scores reflected the balance on the court (18-16, 8-21, 18-10, and 13-16), with the second period proving decisive for the final result.

The highlight of the match – and of the entire round – was player-coach Pedro Bártolo, who delivered a remarkable performance and scored 41 of FC Porto’s 63 points.

With this victory, FC Porto secured qualification for the final phase of the competition, with two rounds of the regular phase still to be played.

Next Saturday, at 3:00 PM, the Lagarteiro Pavilion will host the first match of the Portuguese Cup, against APD Paredes.
