Magec Tías Lanzarote Contra la Violencia de Género could not secure a key victory on their visit to Pabellón Fuentenueva 1 at the University of Granada, where they lost 75-70 to El Plantel GmasB, in a match marked by equality, intensity, and competitive tension until the final seconds. The game, corresponding to matchday 16 of the Liga Femenina 2, also served as the debut for Ester Iranzo, the latest reinforcement to join the Lanzarote team.
The Nazarí team started the match with greater accuracy and rhythm, imposing their game in the early stages and forcing Jesús García's team to row against the current from the start. The home team managed to take advantage of their initial push to open a first gap on the scoreboard, although Magec Tías Lanzarote adjusted their defense and improved their offensive percentages as the minutes went by.
In the second quarter, the Lanzaroteñas managed to tie the game at several points, although at halftime the advantage remained in favor of the Granada team. The second half maintained a very similar dynamic: two solid, intense teams with good shooting accuracy, exchanging minimal leads in a game of maximum physical and mental demand.
The final quarter concentrated all the excitement of the match. Both teams were playing for much more than a victory: a visiting win would have meant a significant boost in the standings for Magec Tías Lanzarote, while for El Plantel GmasB it was an opportunity to strengthen their chances of staying in the league. The pressure translated into nervousness, turnovers, and tight decisions at key moments, factors that ended up penalizing the islanders in the final moments.
Finally, the home team's success in decisive plays tipped the scales in Granada's favor, sealing the final 75-70 score, with the Lanzarote team salvaging the basket average against Granada. Ester Iranzo's official debut for Magec Tías Lanzarote is noteworthy, as she logged her first minutes and scored 7 points
This result, combined with Basket Almeda's victory on the day, tightens the lower end of the standings even further, reducing the islanders' lead over the teams immersed in the relegation battle to just one win.
Magec Tías Lanzarote Contra la Violencia de Género is already focusing its efforts on the next matchday, in which it will host Segle XXI at the Pabellón Municipal de Tías, starting at 4:00 PM on Saturday. Segle XXI is the current leader of the competition with 11 consecutive victories, after defeating CB Claret Benimaclet 75 to 49.
