World Cup 2023. Germany’s second victory excited by Dominican Republic
The FIBA Men’s World Championship, held in Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines, continues with the first group stage.
In group A, the Dominican Republic team delighted their fans with a sensational victory over the Italian team. The leading player of the match was Hoventuda defender Andres Feliz, who had 24 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. The Italians played very badly and should be happy that they only got “minus 5” in the end.
In group E, the German team managed to beat the Australian team. This is the second victory of the Germans in the tournament – apparently, from the first place in the group, they guaranteed themselves the second stage.
As expected in the other games of the day, Canada beat Lebanon while Montenegro defeated Egypt. Having 5 players on the African team at the same time did not help them to finish the match with over 10 points.
