In a match with tension and expulsions, Apollon Smyrnis was defeated 12-10 by Erythros Asteras, suffering its second defeat in as many games in the Champions League qualifiers.
In this way, he said goodbye to the hopes of qualifying for the groups of the top competition and will continue his European journey in the EuroCup
The light brigade chased until the last minutes for the reversal, but it did not happen, with the people of the Greek team having strong complaints from the referee.
In particular, Red Stars had a 12-8 lead at the end of the third period, with Apollo reducing it to 12-10 three minutes before the end. The referees sent off Gardikas, who protested strongly and was sent off as a substitute.
This was followed by the expulsion of Nikos Deligiannis, who will not sit on the club’s bench in the next game, which starts in a short time (18:00), against the Hungarian Honved.
