CSKA Sofia secured a narrow 100:95 victory over Politehnika in the NBL on Saturday, October 10th. The home side held their nerve in a game that went down to the wire.
Five points separated the teams at the final whistle, a margin that reflected the competitiveness throughout. Politehnika pushed hard but could not find a way through the defence when it mattered.
CSKA have shown inconsistency in recent fixtures, with results alternating between defeats and wins. Their last outing before this one ended in a 74:94 loss to Balkan, but they bounced back with an 82:77 win two days prior.
The victory keeps them in the mix, though without full standings data it is difficult to gauge exact positioning. What is clear is that close games are becoming the pattern rather than the exception.
Politehnika will need to address defensive lapses if they are to challenge further. CSKA Sofia now turn their attention to the next fixture on their schedule.
