Forlì basketball with a thrill, but wins game 5 with Cividale and flies to the playoff semifinals

Forlì, May 22, 2025 – Forlì wins game 5 in Cividale and snatches qualification for the playoff semifinals , where they will find Rimini. At PalaGesteco the red and whites win 78-81 , with the final thrill of the triple attempted by Ferrari after a lost ball on a throw-in. The shot doesn't go in and Pallacanestro 2.015 exults, dragged by the 21 points of Del Chiaro and Gaspardo and the 20 of captain Cinciarini . Now on with RivieraBanca: game 1 will be played on Sunday at Flaminio.

In the first quarter the two teams proceed arm in arm. Forlì has a good feeling from long distance (4-8), but Cividale captures a massive dose of offensive rebounds and always stays in contact (19-19). In the second quarter, however, the gap widens. Cinciarini, with 11 points, digs the gap (24-33), then Unieuro continues to push and a break of 0-10 is worth the +16 (27-43) with which the red and whites take control of the match.

Having hit rock bottom, Ueb Gesteco gets back up. Dell'Agnello is a factor (14 points) and the excellent accuracy from the free throw line puts the home team back in the game (59-61). In the last quarter, then, they also find the impact (66-66) and are on the verge of overturning the inertia. But the red and whites are good at not letting the match slip away. Because the percentages from the arc start to rise again and Gaspardo's triples are worth the decisive lead: 70-76, then 75-81 at -1'15”. It is the decisive lead.
