Spain Falls to Portugal in Basketball Clash

Spain faced a tough challenge against Portugal in Zaragoza, losing 89-95 despite strong performances from new players Álvaro Cárdenas and Aday Mara, who debuted with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Portugal's inspired attack and tough defense overcame a young Spanish team still finding its footing under coach Chus Mateo. While this second defeat shouldn't jeopardize their qualification for the 2027 World Cup, Spain will look to redeem themselves against Greece on Monday. moryak.biz
