Estonia was narrowly defeated by Portugal 65-68 in a FIBA EuroBasket 2025 group game on September 3rd. Portugal bounced back from their opening loss to claim a tense three-point victory on the road against Estonia. In a scrappy, low-possession game, both teams struggled with shooting consistency. Portugal held a narrow lead for most of the fourth quarter, but Estonia stayed within one possession thanks to their defensive effort. With under a minute to play, Estonia had a chance to take the lead but missed an open look from the corner. Portugal secured the defensive rebound and hit two free throws to extend the lead to three. Estonia's last-second heave from half-court fell short, giving Portugal their first win of the tournament and leaving Estonia still searching for theirs.
