The match between Vino Doña Berenguela Balonmano Bolaños and CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife on Saturday afternoon was evenly contested, with the Lanzarote team conceding a draw in a match where they had a two-goal lead in the final minutes. San José Obrero was unable to close out the game in the decisive moments and allowed Bolaños to equalize in the last minute.
The match was even from the start, with minimal differences on the scoreboard at the Macarena Aguilar. Defenses were stronger than offenses, with CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife showing great security in the 6:0 defense set up by Carlos Britos. Past the halfway point of the first half, Mornesa Tenda converted a seven-meter throw to extend the lead to two goals (7-9).
The coach of Vino Doña Berenguela Balonmano Bolaños had to call a timeout, after which the home team reacted. The Ciudad Real team achieved a 3-0 run to turn the score around with goals from Odalys Escalona, Celia García, and Catalina Moreno. The first half ended with the score at 11-10.
The match continued in the same manner in the second half, with CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife managing to stop the opponent's attacks. The Lanzarote team again had a two-goal lead, a margin that was maintained for many minutes of the second half.
With nine minutes left on the clock, home player Celia García converted a seven-meter throw to equalize the score (19-19), and Carlos Britos called a timeout. After instructions from the bench, San José Obrero regained a two-goal lead, with Nathalia Baliana scoring with a powerful outside shot (20-22).
CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife had up to three attacks to close out the match, but they were imprecise at the worst possible moment. A hit on attack, a turnover, and a failed attack left Vino Doña Berenguela Balonmano Bolaños with a chance. Marta Ontiveros reduced the deficit, and Paula Manso, on her team's final attack, scored the equalizer.
With the 22-goal draw, the match came to an end, with CICAR Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife earning a point that leaves a bad taste in their mouths, seeing how the possibility of achieving the first victory of the season away from home slipped away. The Lanzarote team is in ninth position and their next commitment will be on Wednesday in the Copa de la Reina match against Zonzamas Plus Car Lanzarote.
