More HeadlinesThe first Semi-Final of this Championship lasted until the very last second before one team had made it into the Final brackets. France led for the majority of the game, despite a 10-0 opener by Turkey, and opened the last quarter with a 10 point lead of its own. However, Turkey stopped the French squad on no more than 7 points in the last quarter and with a great finish by Akyol and big center Savas took over the game and got the first ticket to the Final. |
