Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" received Unicaja Mijas at home, in a match belonging to the twenty-second day of the Women's League 2 and with the important absence of the Portuguese Leonor Serralheiro. The team coached by Jesús García had permanence in their pocket, although to certify it they had to get the victory or some result in the matches of this day.
It didn't start well for the Lanzarote interests, who saw how the Andalusian team prevailed by getting a nine-point advantage, forcing the local bench to call a timeout and redirect the situation. The error in the shots was doing a lot of damage to the red-and-black team, which penalized more than half of the field goal attempts and only scored 50% of the possible free throws. It was not being a good match for the local players and Unicaja Mijas benefited from this to give Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" an eight-point lead at the end of the first quarter.
There was a circumstantial improvement in the second partial, which increased its shooting percentages, managed to make a better defense of the opponent's game and not only managed to reduce the difference and reach a tie before the equator of the second partial, but even managed to turn the game around, although with a minimal advantage that the Malaga team managed to recover from immediately. With one minute left to conclude the second quarter, the Lanzarote team had the opportunity to go to the break with a favorable score, however, two final errors ended with two Andalusian baskets, putting a momentary score of 27 to 32 at halftime.
On the return to the court, Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" again showed problems facing the basket, with the Andalusian team taking advantage to leave the match on track, reaching an advantage of up to 15 points on the scoreboard. The Lanzarote team was not comfortable in the match and the three-pointers of the Malaga team were ending the morale of the island players, beginning to feel overwhelmed and unable to stop the situation they were experiencing.
With 14 points of difference the last quarter started, where the visitors continued to show their superiority over the locals, with a partial of 3-10 in the first five minutes of the quarter, where everything already seemed lost. The players of Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" did not give up and tried to please the public that had come to the Municipal Pavilion of Tías.
Finally, a final result of 50 to 75 was reached, confirming the Lanzarote defeat, but also the mathematical salvation of the island team after the results that occurred on the day. There are four days left to finish the regular phase and the Lanzarote team will face them with the same enthusiasm and sportsmanship as the rest, although without the added pressure once the goal of salvation has been achieved.
