Hapoel Haifa made a little history for the Red Club this evening (Tuesday) after beating the Austrian Gmunden with a score of 70:77 as part of the fifth round in the group stage of the Eurocup and for the first time in its history secured its qualification to the next stage of a European competition.
The host, who beat the Austrians away in the previous round, knew that a victory in front of the home crowd would guarantee her qualification already at this stage, and she did not let the opportunity slip away despite a close game.

After the painful defeat in the league against Kiryat Ata City, Sharon Drucker's players from Foxes came into the game, taking the lead early in the game with an impressive 27-point offensive quarter in the opening.
Precisely after the dizzying offensive start, the pace dropped in the second half and the visitors managed to stay tight, but a wonderful game by Kadeem Allen and Devonte Upson and an escape in the last quarter ensured the Reds from Carmel the victory.
