"Absheron Lions" defeated "Anorthosis" with a score of 89:73 in the first match of the FIBA ​​Europe Cup qualifying round.

Offsideplus.az reports that after the match, the team's head coach Erhan Toker expressed his thoughts on the game:

"We could have won by a bigger score. We want to fix some things. We will work on it. Maybe they could not analyze us well. We played well in attack and defense. The current goal is to leave Cyprus with a victory. Then we will make plans for the future. Our young players have development".

It should be noted that the return match between the sides will be played in Cyprus in a week.
