In the world of international basketball, attention is once again focused on the talented Mozambican player, Leia Dongue, who currently plays for Roma Basket in the Italian Basketball League. However, the team's last game against Passalacqua Ragusa, in the 6th round, did not go as expected, with Roma Basket losing by a narrow margin of two points, with a final score of 69-67.
Leia Dongue, a standout player on the team, was on the court for 28 minutes and 18 seconds, demonstrating her talent and skill. The Mozambican center scored 13 points during the game and grabbed 4 rebounds, proving once again her importance to the team.
However, the notable absence of Nigerian point guard Ezzine Kalu was felt in this game. Kalu, who stood out as MVP of the 2019 Afrobasket, unfortunately could not participate in the game due to an injury. News of her absence is accompanied by information that she is expected to be out for a period of 4 weeks, which represents an additional challenge for Roma Basket.
Despite the narrow defeat, the Roma Basket team continues to demonstrate its competitiveness and promises to fight in the upcoming matches to achieve success. Their next challenge is scheduled for November 23, 2023, when they will face Umana Reyer Venezia.
Leia Dongue, with her skill and determination, continues to be a prominent figure on the international basketball scene, representing not only Roma Basket, but also Mozambique, with pride and excellence.
