AtticGo CBM Elche took their second victory of the season on the Granollers. Ending a 4-game winning streakClassification on the way back after a month’s hiatus in the Iberdrola Warrior League, where they beat a Catalan team that got off to a very bad start to the championship without undue problems, and gave the team the coach of Joaquín Rocamora the reasons for their plight.

The Elche women appeared on Catalan soil with Paola Bernabé and Tessa van Zijl after both had overcome their respective injuries, and players like Clara Gascó shot more than in the days before the European Championship break.

The start of the duel was exciting and the two teams want to get over the bad start of the season as soon as possible. Elcheliler got a two-goal advantage with one goal. Zhukova in a fight (5-7, min.12) and after that the difference until the timeout was always in favor of the players led by Rocamora between the goal and the two loan goals.

AtticGo Elche’s pressed defense suffocated the Catalans, but the gap did not go beyond two goals due to numerous offensive turnovers. He then took to the stage a wonderful Nicole Moraleswith several stops that offer options to try the escape again.

But the tone remained the same in the rival area. The women of Elche hit Mera twice on 7-metre shots, and the break-in remained on the two specified goals, this time taking advantage of Raquel Moré’s maximum penalty, thanks to the final goal.

Bad second local time

The second act started with another save by Morales and a goal by Van Zijl, which allowed the visitors to finally open the triple lead they had been seeking for minutes. Local traffic congestion worsened and It took about 12 minutes for the Granollers to score their first goal after returning from the locker room. He was at a disadvantage with the Elche team, as Van Zijl was excluded and María Flores was dismissed after being hit hard in the nose.

By that time, Elche had reached six lead. Local offensive ineffectiveness in their numerical equalization moves and the nerves of a team still undefeated this season were enough arguments for the Rocamoras to put their minds to the situation to return home with two points.

Without being overly bright, Elche closed her return to league rivalry with Nicole Morales as the main figure with a relatively comfortable victory. A win over Green-Franjiverde Warriors by 6 points.
