First defeat for Rostock Seawolves: Porto stops the dream!
The Rostock Seawolves suffered their first defeat in the FIBA Europe Cup on Tuesday evening. The game against the 12-time Portuguese champions FC Porto ended 75:87. Despite a strong comeback in the second half, when Rostock even took the lead, Porto was ultimately too strong. This is reported by NDR. The game took place as part of the third group game and hosts Porto showed from the start that they were willing to defend their reputation as reigning cup winners.
At first things didn't look good for the Seawolves as Porto led by double digits. But the Rostock team showed fighting spirit and equalized to 41:41 at halftime. The second half started promisingly when Rostock took the lead for the first time. But this leadership proved fleeting. The opponent increased the pressure and Rostock had difficulty getting the ball into the basket. “We stopped hitting our three-point shots and missed easy baskets,” explained a disappointed player after the game.
Preparation for the Bundesliga northern derby
For the Seawolves it is now time to look forward. The Bundesliga northern derby against Oldenburg is on the program next Saturday. Rostock have currently suffered three defeats from four games in the league, and a win against Oldenburg could boost some much-needed self-confidence. “We absolutely have to pick up where we left off against Porto and make better use of our chances,” said the coach.
The Bundesliga match is followed by another European Cup game on Wednesday, this time against Tartu in Estonia. Rostock will try to build on the momentum of their two previous wins against Tartu and Antwerp. Tagesschau emphasizes that the Seawolves are good for many surprises this season.
The last few months have been an emotional rollercoaster for the Rostock Seawolves. With a defeat in the European Cup and the challenges in the Bundesliga, they had to strain their nerves. The fans now hope that the team can turn things around in the derby against Oldenburg.
