Ukraine suffered a difficult night in the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2027 Qualifiers, falling 80-60 to a sharp and disciplined Bulgaria side. From the tip off, Ukraine struggled defensively as Bulgaria exploded in the first quarter to build a 30-16 lead, and Ukraine was never able to close the gap.
Tetiana Yurkevichus led Ukraine with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, while Alina Lagupova added 12 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Miriam Uro Nilie and Olha Sivakova added 9 points each, but Ukraine never found their offensive rhythm.
On offense, Ukraine’s shot didn’t fall consistently, shooting 36% from the field including 32.1% from deep. Defensively, Ukraine outrebounded Bulgaria 39-37, but their 25 turnovers allowed Bulgaria to score 26 points off turnovers and 19 fast break points.
This defeat leaves Ukraine with a 1-1 record in Group E and highlights key issues, such as defensive lapses, slow starts and difficulty generating efficient offense. To stay competitive in the group, they will need major adjustments in both execution and intensity.
Azerbaijan Preview
Azerbaijan endured a difficult night in the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2027 Qualifiers, falling 104-62 to a dominant Montenegro side. Montenegro exploded out of the gate outscoring Azerbaijan 36-18 in the first quarter, immediately seizing full control and putting Azerbaijan on the back foot for the remainder of the game.
Alexandra Mollenhauer was the bright spot for Azerbaijan, registering 25 points, 6 points and 4 assists, supported by Polina Shchukina who added 15 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Offensively, Azerbaijan never found their rhythm and lacked enough contribution from the remaining supporting cast.
Azerbaijan struggled to keep pace offensively, shooting just 38% from the field compared to Montenegro’s efficient 50%. Rebounding (49-38) and ball movement (32-15) also heavily favored Montenegro, who repeatedly turned defensive stops into easy points. Azerbaijan made a total of 16 turnovers which proved costly.
With this heavy defeat Azerbaijan drops to 0-2 in Group E. It also exposes the significant gap Azerbaijan must address in Group E, from defensive structure to composure under pressure. Major adjustments will be needed if they hope to remain competitive in upcoming fixtures.
