Madeira Andebol SAD Women

Match report

The opening round of the Women's First Division produced a decisive result for the hosts. Madeira Handball SAD Women secured a comfortable 22-14 victory over Almeda Garrett Women at their home venue on Saturday afternoon. The match opened with Madeira establishing early control. They found their rhythm quickly, building a lead that never truly threatened to slip away. Almeda Garrett looked to come back but struggled to match the pace set by the home side. The visitors managed to stay competitive in patches but could never mount a sustained challenge. By the final whistle, the margin of victory reflected the flow of the encounter. Madeira's attack proved too potent for Almeda's defence, while their own goalkeeping kept the visitors at bay. The result puts the hosts top of the table with three points from one game. **Current Standings After Round One** | Position | Team | Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | Points | |----------|------|--------|-----|-------|------|--------| | 1 | Almeda Garrett Women | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | 8 | Almeda Garrett Women | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | The two sides met recently on May 23rd, 2026, when Madeira won 41-28 in what was clearly a more open fixture. That result may have given the hosts confidence going into this season's opener. Almeda, who drew their opening match 30-30 with San Pedro de Sul, will be looking to improve on that performance. The victory extends Madeira's positive momentum from their recent run of results. They had shown they could compete against stronger opposition in previous encounters. Almeda will need to find more attacking cohesion if they are to climb away from the bottom of the table. --- *Note: I noticed the standings data appears to have an error (showing Almeda Garrett in both 1st and 8th position).
