D1 Round 4: Al Hilal lose to Al Nasr

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The biggest surprise took place in Benghazi where host Al Nasr (2-0) crushed league's leader Al Hilal (2-1) 74-52 on Sunday evening. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Al Hilal. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Al Nasr keeps a position of league leader, which they share with Al Ittihad and Ahly Tripoli. Al Hilal at the other side dropped to the second place with one game lost. They were replaced at the leadership position by Ahly Tripoli. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
Undefeated Olympic (0-1) recorded its first loss in Zawiya. Hosts were rolled over by fifth ranked Al Madina (1-1) 90-57. Al Madina left bottom position moving up to third place, which they share with Al Morog and Ahly Benghazi. Newly promoted Olympic still closes the standings with one game lost. They share the position with Al Yarmook and Libyan U18 A. Al Madina's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Tripoli Ahly Tripoli.
Another interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Tripoli: Ahly Tripoli (#2) and Shabab (#8). Shabab was smashed at home by 37 points 48-85 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Defending champion (2-0) keeps a position of league leader, which they share with Al Ittihad and Al Nasr. Newly promoted Shabab still closes the standings with two games lost. They share the position with Libyan U18 B. Ahly Tripoli's supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Tripoli to the arena Al Madina.

In the last game of round 4 Al Tahaddi defeated Libyan U18 B in Benghazi 73-55.
