Sweden took an early lead in the match against Bulgaria, which then narrowed the points gap slightly. But when the first period was over, Sweden still had a 29-22 lead.
And it would continue at that pace throughout the match. On several occasions, Sweden also put on a bit of a show, including when Barra Njie put in a delicious dunk in the second period.
– Barra Njie raises the roof in Partille arena!, exclaims commentator Björn Becksmo in SVT.
The match ended with an 84-70 win for Sweden.
– We are very good now. I think you saw it in the WC qualifiers. If we have a full team, we are dangerous against all teams, says Viktor Gaddefors after the match.
