5th round of the Superleague finished with a tense match. One of the leaders of the championship – TSU played with one of the outsiders – Cactus and lost at the last minute due to its negligence. TSU trained by Leqso Lapanashvili started the current Superleague with 3 victories, after which they were defeated by Olimpi and now they lost with Cactus, who had had just 1 victory before this match.
However, TSU was leading throughout the game. Their leadership reached more than 10 points in the final period – 68:57, after which Cactus managed to tie the game. It is likely that TSU players considered it premature that the match had been won already.
