Super Amara Bera Bera secured a 33-26 victory over Porriño at the Josean Gasca sports complex, dominance that establishes the San Sebastián side alone at the top of the league standings ahead of the international break, diariovasco.com reported. The team claimed their sixth victory, with referees Óscar Gutiérrez and Jorge Monjo officiating the encounter in front of a strong crowd attendance.
Jon Begiristain returned to the Bera Bera bench with the squad demonstrating clear tactical direction from the opening whistle. French back Mathilde Plotton opened the scoring with a long-range shot, followed quickly by Elba Álvarez to establish a 2-0 lead.

The first-half scoring progression developed through partials of 2-1, 6-4, 9-6, 11-7, 15-9, and 16-11 at the break. Anne Erauskin contributed to the early scoring alongside Álvarez and Ishikawa to reach 6-4, while Melinda Maire Louis scored on a fast break and Amores added a goal just before the halftime whistle. Porriño’s starting lineup featured Saez, Rial, Zsembery, Ojea, Campo, Rodríguez, and Manterola, with Mallo, Fernández, Benaches, Ribeiro, and Ferrarín coming off the bench. Referee disciplinary actions included exclusions given to local players Fonkeng and Arroyo, alongside visiting player Benaches.
