Ferrol Women beat Estepola Women 84-72 at home in the Women's League on Saturday, 11 October 2026. The hosts held on after a spirited second half to claim three points in their pursuit of a higher finish.
Both sides entered the game with identical records — fourteen wins and sixteen defeats across thirty matches — sitting ninth and eighth respectively. The margin between them on the table was negligible, and the result only widened the gap by a single position.
We had tipped Ferrol to win, though our confidence sat at just fifty-four percent. It was never going to be straightforward against a side that had shown resilience in their own right, but the home court advantage and recent form in their favour made it the likelier outcome. And here's the thing — Estepola had lost four of their last five league games, while Ferrol had won three of their previous four outings.
Ferrol's recent run included two comfortable victories over Beroe Starozagora, scoring eighty-five and seventy-six goals in those matches. Estepola, by contrast, had found the net barely forty-one times against Zaragoza and struggled to keep pace against San Giovanni on two separate occasions. The visitors simply never got going in the second half, and Ferrol put the game to bed early in the final period.
The win moves Ferrol off ninth place, while Estepola drop to tenth. Both teams remain level on points, but the psychological blow of a home defeat could weigh heavier than the single-place shift suggests.
