Tenerife Echeyde Crushes Oradea 25-5 in Nordic League

Tenerife Echeyde has started Phase 2 of the Nordic League with a dominant victory, a crucial step in their goal to reach the competition's Final Eight. The Tenerife team defeated Romanian Oradea 25-5 in a match played in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, earning their first three points.

The game, held in Tenerife's capital, began with both teams trying to find their rhythm. However, Echeyde quickly took control, scoring after three minutes and rapidly building a 3-0 lead. From that point, the home team's offense was unstoppable, giving them a significant lead by the end of the first quarter. Their superiority continued into the second period, where the Canarian squad extended their lead to 9-0. Players like Alex Andión, Pablo Díaz, Iker González, Luis Araya, and Sergio Prunell stood out with several goals. Even with player rotations and giving minutes to less regular players, Echeyde maintained their scoring pace, reaching a 16-0 lead before Oradea managed to score their first goals. Goalkeeper Héctor Martínez also had an excellent performance, saving two penalty shots. Echeyde's next game is today at 6:30 PM against South African Elevate, who previously beat Irish Leinster 11-10.

Meanwhile, the Guayotas women's team returns to the División de Honor league after a successful European trip to Serbia. There, they qualified for the Conference Cup Final Eight without losing a single game. Today, at 11:00 AM at the Acidalio Lorenzo pool, they will aim for their third victory in the national championship against Iruña, who are currently at the bottom of the league. Czech center Daniela Vomastková, in her first season on the island, said the team is well-prepared and in good spirits. However, she warned against underestimating their opponent, remembering how tough the first game in Navarra was and how strong Iruña's attack can be. The team's goal is to secure the win by playing together as a strong unit.
