Malta forward Aaron Falzon scored 11 points with a 57% field goal percentage on Tuesday as his French side Etoile Angers beat Vanves GPSO 81-73 on Matchday two of the Nationale Masculine 1 (NM1) league.
Falzon, who joined the side in September, was in the starting five on Tuesday and played 23 minutes in front of a crowd of 300 people – a step forward as a limited number of fans are now being allowed to watch after the repercussions of covid-19.
This was the team’s first win after losing 88-82 on Friday to Vendee Challans when Falzon had played 17 minutes and made five points on his debut.
Etoile Angers now play Orlean Loiret in the French Cup next Tuesday.
