Hapoel Gilboa / Galil.
The Northern team will not be in the next stage and the only goal it has is to achieve victory in the early stage.
Tonight she was defeated in the candle garden by Reggio Emilia 87:70 and she is in the balance 4: 0.
The goal to achieve a victory will not be easy because its next games are against Saratov at home and before that next week against Sagragosa.
The group from the valley received a much harder home from Eilat and the results accordingly.
Gilboa, which defeated Eilat in the league at the beginning of the week, played without the new foreigner, Derek Kook, who is not yet allowed to play in Yifal.
Roni Harl scored 15, Yotam Hanochi 12.
