The squad, led by coach Karles Ligero, faced the match without the notable presence of Maria Machado, their top scorer, who is currently concentrated in Funchal (Portugal) with the Portuguese national team. This absence, along with that of coaches Ferran Pascual and Rui Tiago, affected the offensive flow of the Rubí side.
Despite the difficulty, the team managed to compete effectively and stay in the game against a very organized Leioa squad, which is fighting to enter the promotion group. The match was balanced from the start, featuring constant goal exchanges and minimal differences on the scoreboard.
Tension escalated in the final stretch. The visiting team never gave up and pushed the hosts to the limit, requiring strong defensive solidity and efficient management of decisive possessions to maintain their minimal lead.
With this tight 11-10 win, CN Rubí confirms its excellent form and consolidates its status as the team to beat in this first phase of the competition, proving their ability to win even in the most challenging games.
