Innova-tsn Leganés has begun its path to the promotion Play Offs and has done so with a rival that it knew very well, CAB Estepona. Just a week ago, Javier Fort’s team had faced them to finish the regular league. And now it was the same meeting, it was not going to be anything like the one held just 7 days before. Although fortunately for Leganés, it did seem similar.
Lahuerta, Lizarazu, Barneda, Sangaré and Soriano were the quintet chosen by Javier Fort to jump onto the Carlos Sastre floor. With control of the pace of the game and a defense that blocked one of CAB Estepona’s leaders, such as Nneka Ezeigbo, the pepineras reached a 7-point lead on the scoreboard. The Barneda-Soriano offensive duo, with 7 and 5 points respectively, managed to put together an attack that elevated Leganés in the first quarter. After the reaction of Francisco Tomé’s team, the first period would close with 16-14, without giving any advantage to Estepona’s team.
At the beginning of the second quarter, CAB Estepona’s reaction continued, with a run of 6-11, they turned the score around and made it 22-25 in the first five minutes of play. The defense of Francisco Tomé’s team closed gaps and the pepineras had many problems to score in a period that would end with 28-32 (12-18 partial) and apparently, an Innova-tsn Leganés touched.
