The women's CAB team received the Lombos team in another game to tell the Women's League. The game was of great importance for the two teams, so a very balanced game was anticipated and would require maximum commitment and concentration from both teams. It should be noted, in a sense of curiosity, that Lombos presented the game with two players formed in the CAB (Carolina Escortius and Marcy Gonçalves) and, by coincidence, with an American player (Aleighsa Welch), who, at the time, represented the Amigas. The match began with many ball losses and low effectiveness in both sides. The CAB was betting a lot on defensive intensity, but in the attack, it wasn't marking as much as it would like. So Lombos came to the end of the first half ahead by 8-10. In the second half, the situation was different, with the CAB winning the partial by16-9 and going to the interval in front of the marker by 24-19. However, this phase of the game was marked by Simona Podevova's injury, who had to abandon the encounter with a knee injury after an apparatusacious fall during a ball match. The severity of the injury will be further assessed by the Clinical Department of the BAC. In the third period, the CAB started better and came to have an 11-point advantage over Lombos. However, from then on, the players of the house accumulated a series of errors in the management of the ball that was used by Lombos to win the partial by 13-18 and reach the end of the thirty minutes of the game with the match tied to 37-37. In the last 10 minutes, Lombos had greater decision-making power than the Madeirans, marking more (8-14) and exploring the weaknesses of the locations better, especially in the chapter of the inner game, where the CAB was devoid, without Simona Podesvova (injured during the game) and without Marta Bravo or Ines Ajanovic (also removed by injury). Despite the efforts of the Madeirans, the victory was of the visitors by 45-51.
