Friends fall again before the formation of Carcavelos

The women's CAB team faced Loins in the first game of the Federation Cup. The trophy is being played in Coimbra among the formations that were in the first eight positions of the League's first round of games. The game began best for the CAB, which won the first period by 14-17. Friends have been able to explore better than continental launch opportunities and have also been more aggressive in the caveats. In the second half, balance was the dominant note. However, in the last three minutes of the partial, the CAB did not score any point and, moreover, accumulated several ball losses (9 losses recorded in the interval), which allowed continentals to collect from the locker rooms in front of the result by 30-26. In the third half, the CAB went badly, in the attack and in the defense, which allowed Lombos to increase its advantage to eleven points (40-29) with practically half played. The CAB tried to react, but showed little ability to change the course of events, thus reaching the end of the third period to be lost by 50-44. In the fourth half, the CAB fought hard to get back into the game, but the ones directed by João Freitas always revealed a reduced effectiveness in the release chapter, as well as some defensive disengagements, which were exploited by Lombos for their benefit. By the end of the meeting, friends' slips were accentuated, because, decidedly, they were on a night 'to forget', such the inability to convert their effort into points, which led to the final defeat by 65-51.
