The Mexican team (1/1) continues to be a pleasant surprise in the Split Olympic team.
The Mexicans took a serious challenge to Germany in the first match (76:82) and this time they broke Russia (0/1) – 72:64 (18:16, 13:20, 19: 7, 22:21).
The Russians won the first half of the match (36:31), but the third quarter became the cornerstone. The Russians only managed 28 points after a long break and had to recognize the advantage of the rivals.
Andrey Vorontsevich is doing it all right now!
He makes contact and still makes it fall before giving Vladimir Ivlev a beautiful dime underneath 😍
