The Spanish women’s basketball team defeated Canada 66-76 and managed to advance to the quarterfinals unbeaten and as the first in the group, which prevents him from having to play against the United States until a hypothetical final, unlike his male teammates. His rival will know today, after the other two groups of the initial phase are completed.
The fact of playing very early, at ten in the morning, was good for the players of Lucas Mondelo, as they placed a 13-23 at the beginning of the game that was already unbeatable for the Americans . Cristina Ouviña was key in all the strides made by the Hispanic team, with 15 points and 7 assists, well followed by another of the bastions of the set in these Games, the pivot Astou Ndour, who yesterday made double digits, with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Spain only suffered in the second period, when Canada came away with a threatening 23-27, but immediately escaped again to twenty points (36-56) and came very calm in the end.
