A choral performance from Spain, with the entire team scoring with the exception of Anna Espar, allowed Miki Oca’s men to pass over Israel (22-5) and practically ensure their qualification for the round of 16, which will go through beating Kazakhstan, the weakest team in the group. After the hesitant exercise in the debut against the Netherlands, the Spanish were more focused, against a lesser rival, although they left good feelings, both in defense and attack.
The Spanish left Israel without scoring for 17 minutes, between the middle of the second quarter and the final part of the quarter, and also took advantage of superiority actions, where they scored eight of the nine they had. Beyond the 2-2 start, the match had no history. They left at the end of the first eight minutes with 5-2 and the Spanish widened their difference to 7-2 in the second quarter. Spain played well with their buoys (Maica García, Paula Leitón, Paula Camus) and was fast and practically infallible in actions in superiority.
So the difference shot up to 12-3 at the break. In the third quarter, the defensive intensity increased, Spain did not concede any goal and managed to be 12 goals up (17-3), in a few minutes in which Oca gave Laura Ester minutes for Martina Terré in goal and the advantages continued to increase against a rival who has stuck his head out in the international concert after Russia’s loss.
In the end, Spain won 22-5 and this Thursday they will have the chance against Kazakhstan to close their qualification for the round of 16. The top scorers of the match, with four, were the buoy Paula Camús and the pitcher Ariadna Ruiz, who was chosen the best player of the match.
