Tejano control increased and Gáldar progressively lost the rhythm and effectiveness of the first minutes, reaching 10-4. Given the existing situation, the Gran Canaria had no choice but to go on the attack, managing to significantly reduce the difference until 12-11 that the electronic team showed at halftime.
In the second half, those of Aday Sánchez were in tow of the Tenerifeans, who were still ahead thanks to a great defensive work and the outstanding performance of the Brazilian Wilson De Lima.
