Overview
- Trapani traveled to the neutral venue in Samokov with only five players — Cappelletti, Rossato, Pugliatti and youth players Patti and Martinelli — after a string of departures.
- Officials ended the game with Hapoel Holon leading 38-5 when Trapani was reduced to a single player following exits and Patti’s fifth foul.
- The roster drain followed transfers including Matthew Hurt to Tofas Bursa and earlier moves by Allen, Ford and Alibegovic, alongside coach Jasmin Repesa’s resignation.
- The players' union urged cancellation of Trapani’s remaining BCL fixtures, citing competitive imbalance and player safety concerns.
- Club president Valerio Antonini said they played to avoid a reported €600,000 forfeit fine, as the team awaits a Tribunale Federale hearing after eight Serie A penalty points.
