Alba Berlin shows flashes before faltering in quarterfinal second leg

Alba Berlin delivered a mixed performance in the second leg of their quarter‑final against Rasta Vechta, following a weak first‑leg display. The team alternated between periods of high intensity and moments of vulnerability, leaving the result undecided. The first leg had been characterised by a poor showing, with Alba Berlin failing to impose their usual standards. In the return match, Alba Berlin entered phases of a frenzy, producing an attacking surge that briefly lifted the game. The momentum was short‑lived, as the side later had to "shiver" again, slipping back into defensive lapses. After the fluctuations, the question of "how?" the team could recover lost its relevance among observers. The episode mirrors the conclusion of coach Pedro Calles's so‑called horror series, suggesting his tenure may be reaching its end. Alba Berlin now turns its focus to the remaining fixtures of the season, aiming to stabilise performance ahead of the next challenge.
