It was a triumph achieved based on solidarity and the exhibition of a more quality game against a team, which before its audience, wanted to give its best version, but lost countless balls that became new opportunities for the Hispanic team.
With a broader closet fund and surviving the drought of triple until the third quarter, the Spanish team, which was always ahead of the score except 20 seconds in the first minute of the game, dominated the game but was not able to reach sensitive advantages until the second part, when the German febich and geiselsolder, especially the first for his attack and was able to refine in the outer shot. The two German players, who were the support of their team during the first part, deflate themselves in the final minutes, so the Dallas Wings player, Luisa Geiselsolder was no longer so active in the offensive rebound and gave the initiative to the Spanish pivots.
They were almost all good news for the players led by Miguel Méndez. From point 700, with a triple that put the 51-38 on the scoreboard, to the overwhelming domain in the rebound (42 by 28 of Germany). It shone with 20 points and four rebounds, María Araujo, the most close to flock the balls that the Germans failed in attack and the choral game of the entire team that is already virtually classified for the next phase, and also with great possibilities of avoiding Belgium, the European champion, at the crossroads of the quarterfinals.
Spain gradually increased its domain, although it became aimed at the beginning of the third quarter, when it received two fouls plus a technique before the first minute was fulfilled and Germany approached three points (36-33), but the Spanish team was redone to we wear out its rival despite the arbitration severity before any gesture of the Spanish.
