Barça Borges have won their last game in the first phase of the league against CAI Aragon in a hard-fought game. In a decisive second half, Igropulo, Rutenka and Ugalde were Barça’s key players.

CAI put up a fight

The game began with CAI wanting to make their mark, with the Stankovic-Arhenius partnership causing a lot of damages to FC Barcelona Borges. The teams were evenly matched for most of the first half, and whilst CAI looked like they might take a big lead, but in the end the score was a surmountable 17-18.

A better Barça

After the break, Cristian Ugalde made it 18-18 straightaway, and from there on in, Barça had the upper hand. Then Barça came up with a 3-0 partial score, and then an even more impressive 6-0 to make it 31-24 in the 17th minute. During the final stages, Barça focussed on controlling the game whilst trying to expose their opponent’s weak spots.
