After all the preparations, excitement and training, the moment of truth has arrived: Hapoel Holon is currently playing against Spanish Tenerife in the Champions League semi-final.
About 1,000 fans who came from Israel paint the Bilbao Arena in purple and give a homely atmosphere to Guy Goodes and his players.
Freddie Bourdieu was not signed to the squad for the game.
The winner will play on Sunday (21:00 Israel time) in the final against the winner in the second semi-final between Menersa and Ludwigsburg.
The loser will compete in the match for third place (18:00).

The first quarter:
We set off, with a loud anthem sung by Holon fans in the stands ...
Less than a minute into the game, Chris Johnson from Hapoel Holon was hit in the elbow and fell to the floor screaming in pain.
There is great concern on the bench of Holon, while number 4 in yellow is being treated and it is difficult to straighten his right hand.
Tyros Maggie replaces Johnson, who came down injured and in great pain for further treatment in the locker room.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
