Virtus Bologna won against Real Madrid with a great performance by Sergio Scariolo’s team, but during the game, there has been a mistake regarding the score. One point was wrongly added to Real Madrid, and now the EuroLeague has announced the score to be changed.
Here’s the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague full statement:
“During the game between Real Madrid and Virtus Segafredo Bologna of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season Round 5, with 6:59 minutes remaining on the game clock of the fourth quarter, Dzanan Musa of Real Madrid committed a turnover resulting in Virtus ball possession.
The USC (Unified Scorers Crew) wrongly introduced a free throw conversion of Dzanan Musa, instead of the turnover committed. The situation was not corrected during the game leading to a wrong final score of the game 92-95.
The correct final score of the game is 91-95 and all game and individual statistics have already been corrected on Euroleague Basketball official platforms”.
Here is the video of that play.
Check that Musa is turning the ball over and 2-3 seconds after the score increases from 66 to 67 points. https://t.co/wCIBBaLDho pic.twitter.com/fBXPCchCcM— 3StepsBasket (@3StepsBasket) October 27, 2022
