A 6-point difference determined Mexico's victory against Mozambique.
Mozambique's women's national basketball team faced Mexico last night in a close game, but ultimately lost 71-65 in the FIBA World Championship 2026 Qualifying Tournament. The Samurai, as they are known, showed determination throughout the game, but were unable to maintain the lead they had gained in the early stages.
