Match overview

Key moments

The pivotal stretch came early in the second quarter.

That surge pushed the lead to 21 points and forced CB Maristas to call timeout.

Qazeres put the game beyond doubt with another strong run early in the third quarter. A 12-4 burst in the opening minutes of the second half stretched the lead to 30 points, and the visitors were able to rotate their bench while maintaining control. CB Maristas showed some fight in the fourth quarter, but the outcome was already settled.

Tactical story

CBAL Qazeres Extremadura’s game plan centered on defensive pressure and outside shooting. They denied easy entry passes, forced turnovers, and pushed the pace in transition. On offense, the visitors spaced the floor well and punished CB Maristas whenever the defense collapsed into the paint.

CB Maristas Women struggled to contain Qazeres’ dribble penetration and were often a step slow in rotations. The hosts tried to establish an inside game, but Qazeres’ physical defense made post catches difficult. Maristas’ best spells came when they attacked early in the shot clock, but they could not sustain that approach against a disciplined opponent.

Standings impact
