The ASC City of Dakar conceded its third defeat this Saturday, bowing against Petro Luanda on the score from 76 to 67. A defeat that complicates the chances of the Dakarois, before the last day against US Monastir.
The ASC City of Dakar lost to Petro Luanda (78-65) on the third day of Basketball Africa League (BAL) 2025, compromising its chances of qualification for the playoffs. This defeat, marked by a halftone performance, puts the Senegalese club in a delicate position in the Sahara group.
Despite a promising start to the match, the Dakarois lacked cohesion in the face of defensive aggressiveness and the offensive efficiency of the Angolans, led by an excellent Lukeny Gonçalves (22 points). Repeated errors and the lack of attack solutions weighed on the hopes of the ASC, which has never managed to fill the gap in the score.
With this setback, the ASC city of Dakar must imperatively win its next games to hope for a qualification. The next duel against the US Monastir is already decisive to revive the dynamics.
