It was perhaps one of the most complicated matches that Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" faced this season, especially due to the circumstances of the match. The casualties in the island team with a very complicated trip and against a powerful and reinforced rival, meant that the players of the Lanzarote team had to use their best efforts to have options for victory.
The players of the Andalusian team knew this, and they started the match with a very high rhythm and with great success in the inside game, while the islanders were erratic in attack and very benevolent in defense, giving facilities to the locals. It was difficult for Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" to get into the match and it was especially there when the Almeria team took the opportunity to put a difference of 20 points that, in the end, would be definitive.
Little by little the Lanzarote team got into the match, facing the rival and trying to reduce a difference that became insurmountable as the minutes passed. Defensively, Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" was improving as the minutes passed and had nothing to do with the one that came out in the second quarter, with the one that finished the first. In offensive actions they had many quality attacks that allowed them to smile, but without ceasing to look to the horizon with a difference that could not be reduced until the last quarter, when the locals were already winning by 36 points, finally remaining at 22, 66 to 44.
The match ended and the players of the Lanzarote team went to the hotel to rest to get up at three in the morning and begin the trip back home, putting an end to a match where there was more desire than options, but without ever lowering their heads.
Now it is time to think about the next match, the first of the second round and the first at home in 2023, receiving Baloncesto Femenino León at the Ciudad Deportiva Lanzarote, a team that arrives after losing by one point to CB Aridane, 58 to 57, and that has the same record as the Lanzarote club, 5 wins and 7 losses.
