The Lleida team was close to achieving a major feat during their visit to Castilla y León, as they had real chances to tie the match until the final moments. Despite the defeat, the players coached by Iban Raigal played a great game, only conceding when the home team managed to open a decisive gap in the final score (36-31).

Despite the five-goal difference at the end, the 'burgundy' squad showed a high competitive level against an opponent that, although expected to fight for the top spots in the league, was only one point ahead before the matchday. This parity was reflected in the halftime score, where the Lleida players left with a slight one-goal advantage (13-14).

The second half continued the trend of balance, with exchanged goals and solid defenses. However, the León players of Caja Rural Cleba managed to overcome the minimal advantage held by Lleida Handbol and were more effective in the decisive moments of the final stretch to secure the victory.
