Leyma Basquet Coruna advanced to the Copa Galicia final after rallying to beat Club Ourense Baloncesto 94-89 in the semifinal at Fontes do Sar in Santiago. After a sluggish first half on offense and defense, the Coruna side turned the game around in the second half and closed it out in the fourth quarter.
The win secures a third consecutive final appearance in the regional tournament. The comeback and the 94-89 result, played over four quarters in Santiago, was reported by SPORT — Baloncesto and Piratas del Basket.
Second-half turnaround decides the semifinal
The game required a sustained push from Leyma Coruna, which had to raise its level in the final two quarters to overturn the deficit. A tighter defense and improved ball movement sparked the rally and created the decisive edge down the stretch.
Lukas Uleckas led the scoring for the Coruna team and provided the offensive reference when the game was on the line, powering the comeback against Ourense.
Third straight final awaits on Sunday
With the result, Leyma Coruna will contest its third straight Copa Galicia final. The final is scheduled for Sunday at 19:00 against the winner of the other semifinal between Obradoiro and Breogan.
The title game will again test the early-season form of the Galician sides at Fontes do Sar ahead of the official league start.
