Spain failed to break their bad spell in the World Cup qualifiers for Qatar 2027 and fell to Greece 108-106 at the OAKA, in a game decided in overtime. Chus Mateo's side were practically always behind on the scoreboard throughout the match, while Vassilis Spanoulis's team proved more precise in the decisive moments of the game.
Tyler Dorsey and Dinos Mitoglou finished with 29 points each, being the most productive players for the Greek national team. Joel Parra, a player from Barcelona, was the top scorer for the Spanish side with 19 points.
This defeat represents three consecutive losses on the road to the next World Cup, placing Spain in a delicate situation in the qualifiers standings.
A reaction is now mandatory in the November windows, when Spain will face Montenegro and again Greece, seeking to reverse this negative trend and fight for qualification for the World Cup.
