BELGRADE (Serbia) - There was another major slice of history served up by Great Britain on an entertaining Quarter-Finals day at FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2019.

After reaching the Quarter-Finals for the first time 48 hours earlier, they went one better as an absorbing 62-59 victory over Hungary handed them a maiden Semi-Finals spot.

 
The win was largely down to an incredible performance from MVP contender Temi Fagbenle. The Polish League MVP stole the show with 29 points and 8 rebounds, while Jo Leedham played an important cameo with 12 boards and 8 assists. 

Great Britain also became the first team to claim a spot for next year's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments and they will play France in the Semi-Finals, who came out on top in the most entertaining game of the day. 

 
In the only overtime contest of the event so far, they relied on a special display from Sandrine Gruda who amassed an eye-popping 33 points and 10 boards in an 84-80 success over Belgium.

Both reigning FIBA Women's EuroBasket Women champions Spain and co-hosts Serbia coasted into the last four of the competition where they will meet each other. Spain stormed past Russia 78-54 off the back of a blistering 24 points and 12 rebounds from Astou Ndour.

Meanwhile Ana Dabovic erupted for Serbia in the first quarter of their clash with Sweden. She had fun and scored 16 points in the opening 10 minutes and went on to claim 19 points as the local favorites took an 87-49 victory.
