This qualification window for the 2027 World Cup has had it all, including remarkable comebacks.

One of the biggest came from Slovenia, who defeated the Czech Republic 84–86 after a brilliant second-half response.

Despite strong performances from Tomas Satoransky (15 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists) and 22 points from Tomas Kyzlink, the hosts were unable to avoid a tough home defeat.

Klemen Prepelic led the visitors with 20 points, helping erase a deficit that had swelled to nearly 20 points thanks to a dominant third quarter that ended 9–27.

After tying the game, Slovenia controlled the final quarter, staying one step ahead throughout to secure the victory.
