The first stumble of the season for Ca´Mario Lanzarote San José Obrero arrived. Joaquín Ruiz's pupils were thick against BM Manzanares, not finding themselves comfortable during the entire match on the playing court and seeing how the visiting team assaulted the fort of the Titerroy Municipal Pavilion. Ca´Mario Lanzarote did not know how to close the match when they were playing better and saw how Manzanares ate their toast in the final minutes of the match.
The players of Ca´Mario Lanzarote San José Obrero jumped too cold to the playing court, which allowed BM Manzanares to take the initiative in the first minutes of the match. It took Joaquín Ruiz thirteen minutes to ask for the first timeout of the match, when the score reflected a 4 to 5 in favor of the visitors and trying to redirect the team's game.
Ca´Mario Lanzarote San José Obrero reacted slightly, turning the score around. The Lanzarote team took the lead with nine minutes remaining for the end of the first half (9-8). The Manzanares coach requested a timeout to stop the reaction of the locals and especially to give air to the players who were on the playing court. At halftime, the score was 13 to 11 in favor of Ca´Mario Lanzarote San José Obrero.
Ca´Mario Lanzarote San José Obrero started the second half with more intensity, which allowed them to start the period with a 4-2 partial, increasing the differences to four goals. It was the maximum income of San José Obrero in the match, a difference that they did not know how to manage. The Manzanares coach requested a timeout in the 5th minute of the second half.
After the indications from the bench, Manzanares reacted achieving a 1-6 partial and that allowed them to get ahead again on the scoreboard (18-19). San José Obrero threw overboard the good work of the first minutes of the second half and again began to feel uncomfortable on the playing court.
Veljko Davidovic was in charge of putting Ca´Mario Lanzarote San José Obrero ahead again on the scoreboard, by scoring a seven-meter shot and scoring a goal from the pivot. BM Manzanares reacted again, giving the rival a new 0-3 partial and taking a two-goal lead on the scoreboard with nine minutes remaining for the end of the match.
The final stretch of the match was of authentic madness and the match could be decided for either of the two teams. Veljko Davidovic missed a seven-meter shot to tie the score. With the 24-24, the goalkeeper Gerardo Arrocha made a save of great merit and in the next attack play, the referees signaled a non-existent foul in attack to Carmelo Álvarez when he was walking alone towards the goal. And with twenty seconds remaining for the end, Francisco Javier Ramos scored the goal that gave the victory to BM Manzanares.
