📊 The game that lost @FCNordsjaelland the title.

@FCKobenhavn were handed the title by #fcn‘s loss to rivals @BrondbyIF. Nordsjaelland had more shots, more corners, and OVER 300 MORE completed passes (397-700).

But #Brøndby won where it matters most. ⚽️

AEK made it through to the semi-finals of the Basketball Champions League (BCL) after they defeated ERA Nymburk 94-82.

This is the second time that the Greek side have reached the semi-finals of this competition in their history. The last time they made it to the semi-finals was in 2018, the year they won it. It was also in the same arena.

It is also the first time ERA Nymburk have a lost an official game in all competitions since December 2019, a run of 32 matches.

A key aspect of the game was Nymburk’s profligacy from free throws. They only scored 13 from 24, compared with 9 out of 10 by AEK.

Here is a chart of all the top-scorers from the match. Keith Langford was prolific, scoring 18, while Tyrese Rice managed 12 and also got five assists. (Credit: FIBA Live Stats). You can access all the stats from the game on the following link: https://www.fibalivestats.com/u/FEUR/1743826/.
