After an eventful quarterfinal round of EuroBasket 2022, the four semifinal participants are clear.

Underdogs gained the upper hand in half of the matchups in the earlier round, meaning that the big trio of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Luka Doncic are all set to miss the biggest matches of the tournament.

Mateusz Ponitka registered just the fourth triple-double in EuroBasket history with 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists against Slovenia. After delivering an upset of the tournament, Poland will battle against France to start the day on Friday (17:15 CET).

France, on their end, looked like they were eliminated but Simone Fontecchio missed two clutch free throws and Vincent Collet's men ultimately took the win in overtime, just like they did in the Round of 16 against Turkey.

In the other semifinal clash, Spain takes on Germany to close out the evening (20:30 CET).

Sergio Scariolo's Spain outbattled Lauri Markkanen's Finland in the quarterfinal, while Germany provided one of the greatest scoring performances in recent times, outgunning Giannis Antetkounmpo's Greece.

The winners of both pairs will meet in the final on Sunday, while the two losing teams will square off for third place.
