The shock at the top of the second day of the national championship league 1 women, turned in favor of the reds of Djoliba AC who managed to overthrow the blues of the As Police who had the fragile nerves in the in the last quarter time (65-64).
The meeting is marked by a lot of intensity and aggressiveness between two teams who know each other fairly well. They had already faced each other during the playoffs of the 2018-2019 season which saw the Djoliba crowned champion. If the first quarter is disputed enough, it is the police who manage to hold a short lead of +3 (22-19).
The second quarter is less intense, compared to the first, the two two teams are struggling to take off on the clock, the blunders are increasing on both sides. If the Djoliba reds only scored 6 points, the AS Police blues did only slightly better (11 points). The daughters of coach Kanouté can keep their lead to go to the break (33-25).
On returning from the locker room, the situation has not improved much, red and blue remain about three minutes without scoring points. It’s the Ace Police who will unblock the meter before the Djoliba AC comes back. The game is well balanced between the two teams who neutralize each other on the clock (11-11), even if the Djoliba AC can nibble behind schedule to come back to 3 points from the police (44-41).
The last quarter time is very exciting. The players of the coach Amara Traoré, more in leg return to the height of the AS Police and end up taking the upper hand (45-43) before the police officers equalize in turn (45-45). From this moment a mano à mano is committed between the two teams, but more realistic, it is the reds of Djoliba who will reverse the trend to their advantage, winning on the wire (65-64).
Two players from Djoliba AC, Mariam Dramé and Founè Sissoko each ended the game with 17 points, accumulating just over half of the points scored by the team. We noted the return of the ex-international U19 Mariam Dramé back from the Antilles who excelled alongside another player namely Bintou Dramé. On the side of AS Police, we could note the presence of four new recruits: Koura Sanogo (ex Attar club of Kidal), Saran Traoré (ex Attar club of Kidal), Kadiatou Traoré (ex Stade malien de Bamako) and Kadiatou Samaké (ex Commune 6).
