The Second Round of the 2019 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers continued this Sunday evening, and Serbian fans can be pretty satisfied with the outcome in Group L. Not just that Serbia scored a convncing win against Estonia in Belgrade, but also their biggest rivals in the race for the World Cup tickets - Israel and Georgia - suffered defeats! It means that Serbia now has 2 wins more than Israel and Estonia, and the boys coached by legendary Aleksandar Đorđević are very close to qualify for the World Cup.
On the other side, situation is not that bright for Bosnia & Herzegovina who remained at the last place of Group K after losing at home against Czech Republic. In a thrilling game, the visitors had more concentration in the final moments and scored a very important win.
