Human error dictates home slide

The women's CAB team received Lousada's training in a match for the 22nd Women's League. The CAB knew that it had to be at its best to take away the visiting team, who came to the wood with great need to win the game in order to improve their position in the qualifying table. That's why a good basketball game was anticipated. The first period was marked by a great balance between the two teams. In terms of collective play, the CAB was far superior to visitors, but Lousada bet everything on one of its only 'weapons', namely the long-distance launch. The effectiveness of continentals had effects, and at the end of the first half, visitors led the marker by 19-23. In the second half, the CAB tried everything to counter the opposing ancestry, but it did not do it in the best or most organized way. On the other hand, the answer continued to be the long-distance release (9 triples converted into 15 tried, at the interval) and the aggressive defense to the CAB interior players, sometimes with questionable aggressiveness. The truth is that the visitors' game formula worked, and after winning the partial by 15-20, they reached the break ahead by 34-43. On the return of the locker rooms, a CAB response was expected to turn the marker around. To this end, the Amigas put on the field a very aggressive defensive posture, which was able to cause several losses of ball to the opponents. In the attack, the CAB was not as clear as it would certainly wish, but still won the partial by 17-12, reducing the difference in the marker to 51-55. In the last time, the Friends completely surrendered to the game and won the partial by 19-16. The friends regained the match and placed themselves, on their own merits, in an excellent position to win the game. However, with three seconds to play and the CAB leading 70-69, a very debatable foul for Madeirans sent a Lousada player to the free throw line. The continentals thanked the opportunity and sealed the victory for 70-71.
