The CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife stood up to Super Amara Bera Bera in the first twenty minutes of the first half, a phase of the match in which the score was quite even. The Lanzarote players offered a 6:0 defense on the court and the San Sebastián team played with a 5:1 defense, trying to provoke greater ball circulation from the visitors.
Each of the goals scored by Bera Bera was countered by the attack of CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife. The home team even managed a two-goal lead after Carmen Arroyo scored, but the difference was quickly neutralized with goals from Rocío Squizziato and Andrea Boner (9-9).
The match began to tip in favor of Super Amara Bera Bera in the last ten minutes of the first half. Maitane Echeverría finished off a counter-attack to put the score at 13-10, forcing Alfredo Rodríguez to call a timeout. After instructions from the bench, the home team continued to increase their lead, completing a 9-1 run in the last ten minutes, and going into halftime with a score of 19-10.
The CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife presented itself at the Gasca with a rather short squad, due to the injuries of Ana Radovic, Keyla Hernández, and Thalyta Almeida, the absence of Melania Cabrera for work reasons, and Thais Fermo also did not participate due to physical discomfort. Therefore, some players had to play in unusual positions, with Carla Rivas, Mornesa Tensa, and even Celia López alternating on the left wing.
The match had no history in the second half, and Super Amara Bera Bera even increased their lead to fifteen goals by the midpoint of the period (31-16). Despite the difference, CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife did not give up on the match and gradually reduced the deficit. Marilia Correia and Alba Tort were very effective in attack, and Irene Sánchez made several highly commendable saves in goal.
With the score at 39 to 29, the match came to an end, with Bera Bera adding another victory to consolidate their lead and CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife suffering their tenth defeat of the season. San José Obrero will return to competition on Sunday, November 16, visiting Elda Prestigio, in what will be the last match before the Women's World Cup break.
