Intense and vibrant game in a Nou Congost where the team is fired incredibly. ICL Manresa was ranked by the semifinals of the LEB Or promotion playoff with a great game of Lundberg, which he exploited in the latter game with 31 points, 7 rebounds and 34 of efficiency. Trias scored 11 points and Hamilton, 7. Palencia waits at the semifinals.

Starting baskets and many nerves on the parquet, which would not leave until the final horn. A three-pointer by Martin put 9-4, and later Lundberg began his scoring season with 13-9. No team would disassociate, however, and the first period was practically tied. The baskets were expensive.

In the second period, when it seemed that ICL Manresa could be distanced again, there was a three-pointer of the visitors, who were placed in a basket. Iffe was inspired to run and hang on the ring twice, and the Congost cheered him up. The red ones held a minimum rent halfway, in a few minutes of unbelief.

After the break, the Galician team scored the triple with a three-pointer, which Gintvainis responded in the same way. Two mistakes and one foul put those of La Coruña over 29-34. Trias entered into action and scored from below, and from the free throws. Another "Lundberg moment" with two three-pointers and another 2 plus gave an advantage, but visitors did not give up and found it right to continue in the game. 7 lead points before the last quarter.

The final straight line was full of emotion. In the first stages Sakho and Lundberg seemed to be able to place a comfortable distance, but visitors were approaching 6 points with the three-pointers of their exteriors. Hamilton scored a three-pointer balsamic 4 minutes at the end, and from there came the war of nerves, free throws, and three-pointers unlikely from the visitors. The defensive rebound was key, and Lundberg put the team to 4 points but a three-pointer by board gave hopes to Leyma Coruña. Trias was missing and closed the game, from free throws.
