Casademont Zaragoza and Azulmarino Palma Battle for League Lead

Por ·

Casademont Zaragoza and Azulmarino Mallorca Palma sit atop the standings after stringing together four consecutive victories. Zaragoza is enjoying the best start in their league history, while the Balearic side is experiencing an impressive debut in the top division. Spar Girona also recorded their first win in a matchday that saw significant movement in the standings.

The co-leader of the LF Endesa hosted Durán Maquinaria Ensino in the fourth matchday of the competition. Casademont Zaragoza once again demonstrated their defensive solidity and excellent team play, with well-distributed scoring and notable accuracy from beyond the arc. In a matchday marked by three-pointers from both teams, Diego Fernández's squad found the effectiveness that had eluded them early on during the second quarter, but they could not stop an Aragonese team that plays with rhythm on offense. The red-and-whites secured a dominant victory and achieved the best start in their league history, with four consecutive wins.

Azulmarino Mallorca Palma continues unstoppable and joins Casademont Zaragoza as one of the undefeated teams in LF Endesa. The Balearic side defeated Mirai Euskotren, stripping them of their undefeated status, with dynamic, collective play true to their identity. Alba Torrens, in fine form, and Kayla Alexander led the Balearic squad, while Holm was decisive with 30 rating points, 21 of them in the first half. The numerous turnovers by Azu Muguruza's team hampered their offense and facilitated the victory of an Azulmarino Palma side that confirms their excellent form. Meanwhile, Inversus Gernika Bizkaia hosted Innova-TSN Leganés at Maloste. The Basque side secured a hard-fought victory with a stellar Ángela Salvadores, who posted 21 points and 26 rating points in 32 minutes.

Impulso 360 CAB Estepona earned their second win of the season at Pineda following a great comeback backed by their home crowd. Meins Avenida, led by a standout Mawuli, faded after a strong start and failed to seal the game, succumbing to the local team's push in a fourth quarter where a 17-8 run ultimately decided the outcome. Spar Girona, meanwhile, claimed their first victory of the season against Kutxabank Araski. Roberto Íñiguez's squad relied on an accurate Senyurek, the game's leading scorer and most valuable player with 25 points and 33 rating points, and the best version of Queralt Casas. Made Urieta's team pressed hard in the final quarter to close the gap, but the Catalan squad managed the decisive minutes well and controlled the game's pace to secure the win.

Saturday's matchday closed with Cadí La Seu and Movistar Estudiantes, a game in which Pepe Vázquez's squad imposed their rhythm and capitalized on their opportunities to secure the victory. The Catalan team showed character and determination in key moments to ultimately tip the game in their favor and add their second win of the season, an important result to continue building confidence and solidifying their path in the competition.

Sunday put the finishing touch on the fourth matchday of LF Endesa with the two remaining games. At Fausto Vicent, Hozono Global Jairis defeated Celta Femxa Zorka in a high-intensity matchup in which the home side established their dominance from the opening quarter and reached halftime with the game under control. Bernat Canut's squad maintained their rhythm after the break and continued extending their lead as the minutes passed. At Roig Arena, Valencia Basket delivered a dominant victory over Baxi Ferrol, a game in which Marta Suárez stood out as the leading scorer with 14 points, Alicia Flórez delivered a special performance in her return to the orange squad, and Jenkins shone as the most valuable player with 21 rating points.
