AI-generated summary
Italy was playing in the play-offs of the Women's Basketball World Cup in Berlin.
Italy is eliminated in the play-offs of the Women's Basketball World Cup: Australia wins 82-80 in Berlin, which instead advances to the quarter-finals. The Italians started badly - as had already happened on other occasions during the tournament - and ended the first quarter 13 points down and were unable to recover, even reaching -25 in the third period. In the last set, an extraordinary comeback attempt - led by Verona (23 final points) and debutant Blasigh - brings Capobianco's team back to parity, but then there is no overtaking and the Australians go back ahead. Pasa's support for the scoreboard comes out by a whisker, which would have taken the match to extra time.
