The senior men’s basketball team from Casa do Pessoal do Porto do Lobito staged, this Saturday, the great surprise of the semi-finals of the Angola Cup, beating Petro de Luanda, 77-74.
With this victory, already leading 52-37 at half-time, Lobito’s blue and white team made history by beating the oil companies for the first time.
However, it was not enough to qualify for the final of this competition due to the significant defeat in the first leg.
It was a great performance from CPPL, especially in the first two quarters, even beating the current national champions by more than 20 points.
The Lobitanga team managed to nullify Petro’s main stars, especially Carlos Morais, Yanick Moreira and the two Americans recently hired for Ball, who were unable to show their basketball.
Gelson Kalunga “Chara”, from CPPL, once again produced another great performance, scoring 42 points.
The public was present in large numbers, with the pavilion practically full, and cheered for both teams.
