Schedule and where to watch on TV the Spain – Canada women’s basketball of the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games
Spain faces Canada in the third and last match of Group A, where they are leaders and depend on themselves to have a good match in the direct knockouts
Spain and Canada face off in the third match of the group stage of the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021. The women’s national team arrives at the event after achieving a great victory against Serbia, the current European champions and who was its executioner in the European Championship held in Valencia.
Added to this valuable triumph to the one achieved with suffering in the first game against an uncomfortable South Korea, where center Astou Ndour stood out, Spain is well placed in this Group A. Now, they still need to finish off against a dangerous rival like Canada, so that the work is not finished in this group stage.
The match against Serbia was even tougher than against South Korea, but Spain saw the opportunity for revenge against its executioner in the quarterfinals of the last Eurobasket in Valencia and ultimately continental champion, and did not fail. They won 85-70, which added to Canada’s clear victory over South Korea, leaves Spain as the first in the group, the only team with two wins to its name.
Spain knows that it needs a great performance again to be able to defeat Canada, which is at stake for all, all. Although the Balkans are the current European champions and a comfortable duel is coming a priori before a hopeless South Korea, you never know and it seems necessary that Spain does not fail and consolidate its first place in the face of the crosses that are to come.
The growth of Lucas Mondelo’s team in these Olympic Games in Tokyo does not stop and after passing his greatest test in this second game against Serbia, he does not want to relax in the least against the Canadian women’s team. Serbia already suffered in their debut against Canada, which, like Spain against South Korea, beat it with a tight result (72-68).

Women’s basketball at the Olympic Games: Reaffirm themselves as the first against Canada
The Spanish women’s basketball delegation is looking for the third victory in these Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020 against a Canada that did its homework against South Korea and also depends on itself to be in the final phase. Lucas Modelo’s team defeated South Korea in the debut and Serbia in the second match and they want to forget the nightmare of the last Eurobasket.
Spain certified against Serbia (85-70) its favoritism to the medals in these Olympic Games. The current Olympic runner-up wants to repeat the feat in Rio de Janeiro and reach the grand final of Tokyo 2020. The United States is, without a doubt, the most fearsome rival for the Spanish women: the North Americans have six consecutive gold medals and are looking for the seventh.
The Spanish team is virtually in the quarterfinals and could even be first in the group if it loses by less than nine points in the Canadians. The revenge against Serbia came at the best possible moment, with a recital from the line of three by the Canarian Maite Cazorla, who scored a total of five triples, several of them at key moments of the match.
Alba Torrens and Astou Ndour, the leaders of the national team
Spain defends the Olympic medal and is one of the main favorites to reach the grand final. The Spanish Alba Torrens and Astou Ndour once again led the team to victory with 25 and 20 points, respectively. Other secondary schools also did double digits, such as Maite Cazorla (17) and Cristina Ouviña (10).
The center of Valencia Basket, Laura Gil, was essential in the zone with a total of 20 rebounds, 14 of them in the offensive phase. With 36 minutes on the track, the Spanish supported Spain in the second chances and one of the keys to victory against the Serbs.
