The defending champion wins the seventh and an incredible eighth stage and now leads 5: 3.
During the first 3 days of the America’s Cup, defending champions New Zealand and Luna Rossa had a head-to-head race. Both teams each won a race, so on Saturday it was 3: 3. On Sunday the weather did not allow any competition.
On Monday, the host off the Auckland coast was able to create the perhaps decisive difference. The New Zealanders won both races and tied 5: 3 in the best-of-13 series. The New Zealand team is still 2 successes away from defending their title. The next matches are scheduled for Tuesday.
Incredible eighth regatta
After New Zealand took the lead 4-3 in Game 7, Race 8 turned into a competition the America’s Cup had not seen often in its 170-year history. Luna Rossa first took a lead of more than 4 minutes before the challenger from Italy was caught in a wind hole and unable to move.
The New Zealanders recovered their huge deficit and left Luna Rossa. In the end, the New Zealand team won the race by almost 4 minutes.
