Cadí La Seu defeated Spar Girona 67-72 in a composed performance under coach Pepe Vázquez to claim the Lliga Catalana Femenina championship. La Seu played a complete game, mixing strong interior and exterior play while dominating nearly the entire contest. Marina Mata led Cadí La Seu with 14 points. Iyana Martín's outstanding 22-point debut for Girona was not enough.

The Girona squad started with added intensity. Led by Madison Conner (5 points), Girona jumped out to an early lead (13-7 at the 5-minute mark). Midway through the first quarter, with Laia Raventós and Marina Mata entering the game, Cadí La Seu turned the scoreboard around (14-16 at the 8-minute mark). Coach Roberto Iñiguez called a timeout to reactivate his team. A three-pointer from Iyana Martín, making her debut with her new club, left the score at 17-19 for La Seu as the first quarter ended.

Cadí La Seu maintained momentum. Four consecutive points from Lexi Donarski extended Pepe Vázquez's team's lead (19-27 at the 14-minute mark). Spar Girona looked uncomfortable on the court, and with the talent of Laia Raventós (7 points), the advantage became concerning for Girona (21-33 at the 16-minute mark).

When things looked bleakest, Iyana Martín took her team on her shoulders, and after five consecutive points from Adut Bulgak (7 points), Roberto Iñiguez's squad cut the deficit in half (31-38 at the 20-minute mark). Spar Girona had managed to stay in the game, keeping the final wide open.

After halftime, we saw an exterior duel between Lexi Donarski and Iyana Martín, who was playing exceptionally well in her debut with her new team. However, the back-and-forth exchange would not be enough for Girona. Pepe Vázquez's squad continued to impose their will and maintained the lead (46-56 at the 30-minute mark).

The final quarter did not change the game's dynamics. Cadí La Seu was playing a composed contest and appeared to have it under control. Time was running out for Girona (56-67 at the 36-minute mark).

La Seu's interior game dominated with Marina Mata (14 points) and Nahan Niare (11 points). Roberto Iñiguez's squad gave everything in search of a comeback that never materialized. Iyana Martín's efforts (22 points), including a three-pointer with 14 seconds remaining (67-70), fell short as Cadí La Seu claimed the Lliga Catalana Femenina championship with a 67-72 victory.
