Samora secured a narrow 23:22 victory over Antequera in the División de Honor Plata on Saturday evening, keeping their own unbeaten run intact while handing their visitors only a draw. The hosts finished level on points with the visitors, though Antequera sit three places above them in the table after four matchdays.
And here's the thing about a result like this — it means Samora extend their draw streak to three from four games, while Antequera remain unbeaten despite losing ground in the standings. To be fair, neither side has mustered more than a single victory after four rounds, which suggests this division is proving tighter than many predicted.
Antequera's solitary win came somewhere in those opening fixtures, and they have since collected three consecutive draws without conceding a defeat. Samora, meanwhile, dropped their first point in a 23:22 loss to Antequera — well, actually they lost that one too, but this time around they found just enough to edge through.
The recent form of both sides paints a picture of matches that rarely stay settled. Samora's previous results include a 25:28 defeat to Eivissa, a 26:26 draw with Oviedo, and a heavy 26:40 loss to Benidorm. Antequera have seen similar patterns, with losses to Oviedo and Huesca alongside victories against Sisne and Málaga.
By then, both teams will likely be looking to break this pattern of drawing out matches rather than closing them. Samora sit 15th with a single point, while Antequera hold 12th place on two points — a margin that could widen or shrink depending on how quickly either side finds a way to win games rather than merely not lose them.
