Agustinos Foundation travelled this Saturday to Club Cisne at Colegio Los Sauces and suffered a 28-24 defeat in a match dominated by the Galician side for the majority of the 60 minutes. The visitors controlled much of the tempo, pushing ahead early and keeping a steady rhythm that left their hosts chasing the game from the opening whistle. The final scoreline reflected a performance where the Galician team looked most comfortable, especially in the decisive moments late in the contest.

The tricolor squad showed resilience in the second half, tightening the gap to just a few goals and appearing capable of overturning a six-goal deficit. Yet, a series of unforced errors and turnovers in crucial phases proved costly, allowing the Galicians to seal the win with a characteristic local finish in the last five minutes. The final stretch exposed the blue-and-white side’s need to sharpen their composure under pressure and to execute more consistently in both defense and attack.
Sean Corning emerged as Agustinos’ top scorer, delivering five successful shots from the frontline. Alejandro Carrillo’s team now shifts its focus to the upcoming round, aiming to rebound after their fourth loss of the season and to reset for the next challenge—an away game against the league-leading ID Energy Caserío from Ciudad Real, a side that has yet to drop a match this season and will provide a stern test for the visitors.
