The rival

In the opening match, they narrowly won on the Hozono Global Jairis court ( 57-58 ) with a decisive action in the last second. Dembelé, Nneka Ebo and Lamana were the most decisive players.

On the second day, the green-and-blacks confirmed the good feelings by overcoming Movistar Estudiantes by 90 to 97 in Madrid. The team’s concerted performance was led by the individual performances of Sivka (25 points, 8 rebounds and 31 rating), Dembelé (21 points, 8 rebounds and 26 rating) and Lamana (16 points and 20 rating), who were key to the victory.

Both La Penya and Spar Girona arrive at matchday 3 with identical records (2-0) and showing a high level of play. The Girona team also arrive in Badalona after a demanding and prestigious victory at the ZVVZ USK Praha court in the EuroLeague Women , a match that has provided an important dose of confidence for the team.

The team’s perspective

Roberto Íñiguez explained that “I’m happy for the victory in Prague, but 0 euphoria. Let’s keep working. On Sunday we have a war, a tough battle. We have more games in a row and it’s time to recover well”. The coach highlighted the importance of maintaining concentration and managing the physical load well to compete at the highest level.

Clara Canella assured that “we came to Prague with humility and with things very clear. The staff’s proposal was to stay true to our style. It’s a nice victory, but that doesn’t stop. We have more in the league on Sunday”, making it clear that the team is already completely focused on the next challenge in the domestic competition.
