Bera Bera couldn't win the Spanish Supercup, losing to Rocasa

Super Amara Bera Bera was unable to raise the Spanish Supercup after losing 25-23 to the Rocasa Gran Canaria in the final played this Saturday in Vigo.

The match, marked by the serious injuries of goalkeeper Lourdes Guerra and lateral Carmen Arroyo in the first half, began with great parity, although Almudena Rodriguez easily punished the Basque defense and Kelly Fonkeng dominated in the six meters.

A Bera Bera offensive blackout in the final leg of the first half allowed Rocasa to leave on the scoreboard (13-10), but the Donostiarras reacted quickly with a 1-4 partial to go to the middle tied (14-14).

Jon Begiristain moved his goal in the break and Lucia Prades raised the level of the Frenchman Amandine Balzinc. Based on four of his stops, one of them a shot from seven meters, the Bera Bera went back and also took advantage of the attack to put the 14-17, but Melinda Louise failed from the end.

Rocasa was stuck, but Almudena Rodriguez, under threat of liability, pulled her arm out for the Canaries to celebrate the first goal of the second half after the 6th minute.

That action marked a turning point in the game because Rocasa raised his defensive intensity, and from there he began to grow. He struggled to find a hole in the Canaries' defense, which quickly reflected on the scoreboard.

Only the stopsof Prades - Iria Ranz shot 22-18 - and a couple of gifts from Rocas kept him in the game. Canary coach Dejan Ojeda stopped the meeting when the Donostiarras placed one (21-20, 50 min).

The match was tied, but the Japanese Sora Ishikawa lost the ball, Almudena Rodriguez forced a penalty and Eider Poles did not fail.

The final was yellow, but a quick goal by Alexandra Shunu and the elimination of Almudena Rodriguez gave life to the Bera Bera, who failed again to draw, this time by the newly incorporated Maitane Etxeberria.

The Queen's Cup champion managed to get in the last few seconds with options to force the penalty batch, but Ana Belén Palomino pulled out Elba Alvarez and Fernanda Lima sealed Rocasa's victory.
