A decisive weekend in the commas
Igualada Rigat fans are ready to experience an unforgettable experience, as the WSE CUP final will be held again in Les Comes. The harlequinats, who will fight to defend their title, will face a Lleida who is expected to be a difficult opponent to overcome. The match will take place on Saturday at 16:15, in a pavilion that promises to be full.
The semifinals and the way to the end
The competition also includes another match between the Portuguese of the Riba d’Ave and the Tomar, with the clash scheduled for 18:45. The Grand Final will be played on Sunday at 12:15, a time when every team wants to achieve.
The Igualada Rigat, in full shape
The Igualada reaches this decisive stage with a positive dynamic, after defeating the Alpicat 5-2 on the last day of the OK League. They are currently in fifth place, tied with Lleida, and with the aim of conquering the fourth place that would be granted by the track factor in future playoffs. With four remaining days, the classification is still unknown, but Igualada can already breathe calmly in terms of salvation.
The Lleida: an adversary feared
Lleida is known for being a opponent that can never be underestimated. With a sturdy squad and experience in pressure situations, the Lleida people arrive with a recent victory against Caldes, also 5-2. They have key players such as Nicolas Ojeda, who leads the goal of scorers with 18 goals, and Nuno Soares, with 15, as well as dangerous assists of the Argentine Dario Giménez.
Portuguese rivals in perspective
Portuguese teams competing in the WSE CUP do not seem to be in the best way. The shore of AVE is in the last positions of his league, while the tumming, despite being in the middle of the standings, does not appear as a fearful rival. This could play in favor of the Spanish teams in this competition.
A memorable match against the alpicat
The recent clash against Alpicat was intense and full of emotions, especially with the presence of former club players who are now competing with Lleida. The first half was balanced, with goals from Cañadillas and Vázquez. However, the second half was where Igualada showed his strength, with Rouzé scoring a goal that changed the direction of the game.
Key moments and final decision
After a goal from Rouzé that put the Igualada ahead, the Ritorn de Zilken caused the tension to increase. However, Cañadillas scored a goal that was crucial to maintain the advantage, and Roger Bars closed the score with the final 5-2. This triumph not only consolidated the confidence of the team, but also prepared the ground for the imminent battle against Lleida.
