The basketball players of Finland have qualified for the semi-finals of the European Championship in Riga.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the quarter-finals, Finland defeated Georgia with a score of 93:79.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s remember that in the round of 16, Finland created a first-class sensation and unfortunately eliminated Serbia, while Georgia, whose bench is led by Serbian expert Aleksandar Dzikic, also made a big surprise and defeated favored France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this victory, Finland recorded the greatest success in its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the semi-finals, Finland will face the winner of the Germany-Slovenia match. That match is scheduled for 8 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, the first semi-final pair is already known, consisting of Turkey and Greece. Both semi-final matches are scheduled for Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finland started the match better and gained an advantage from the start. At the end of the first quarter, the Finns gained their first double-digit lead 25:15, got the Georgians into their rhythm, and from then on, the difference only grew. The Finns scored as many as 10 three-pointers in the first half and finished it with a convincing 57:40 in their favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in the continuation, Georgia tightened its defense, slowed down the Finns, and the lead gradually melted away. Finland scored only 14 points in the third period, and Georgia came to -9, 71:62. In the 33rd minute, Georgia came to only -6, 73:67. However, Finland repelled this surge, quickly restored a double-digit lead of 81:70, and calmly brought the match to a close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Finland, the most efficient player was Jantunen with 19, followed by Markkanen with 17, while Salin scored 14 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Georgia, Mamukelashvili scored 22. He was followed by Sanadze with 19 and Shengelia with 18 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
