Hiopos Lleida achieved a crucial 90-80 victory against Barça at Barris Nord, a result that significantly boosts their chances of remaining in the ACB league.

The Lleida team repeated their first-round success, overcoming Barça in an intense match that took place on Saturday, April 19, 2026. This victory, with a score of 90-80, represents a giant step towards moving away from the relegation spots in the ACB league.

The contribution of Melvin Ejim also stood out, scoring 20 points and grabbing 9 rebounds, with a valuation of 28. Hiopos Lleida turned the score around after trailing 41-46 at halftime.
The second half was clearly dominated by the home side, with a 49-36 run, against a Barça team that showed little energy and clarity, possibly with their minds on their upcoming EuroLeague commitment. For the Blaugrana, the most outstanding player was Darío Brizuela, with 21 points, many of them scored in the final stretch of the game.
Hiopos Lleida started the game with great intensity, gaining an initial lead of 17-6. Despite Barça's reaction with players from the bench, the home team maintained the initiative.
