“Las Leonas” Del Seven, 9th in Hamilton after wins over Canada and Brazil

theThe Spanish rugby 7s team finished ninth in the tournament held in Hamilton (New Zealand), the third stage of the World Championship, after a final day. They won both of their matches against Canada (7-0) and Brazil (17-12).

Spain opened Sunday with a strange match against Canada, as the team used to fight for medals that it fought throughout the first part in the 22nd region of the “Leunas” area without being able to open the scoring, as well as interventions from Pedro. The Matas players were fierce.

in the minute before the break, The Spanish started their only attack in the period from their goal area, They tied up dozens of stages to cross the field and ended up running courtesy of Claudia Pia, who got herself a penalty shot ten meters from the line to dive between the posts.

The situation has not changed much, almost nothing, in the second half in which the Americans made a lot of inaccuracies and The Spaniards were disciplined in defense in order to maintain their slight advantage until the last moment.

The duel against Brazil, who had just scored more than 30 points the day before, was a revenge that the Spaniards took seriously from the start, as they Eva Aguirre’s brace – at the beginning and end of the first half – made it a promising 12-0 in the first half.

The whole circle knows the weapons of the Brazilians, two very fast wingers who should not be given an advantage, but nevertheless, Talia Costa and Gabriela Costa leveled the match with their outside excesses before Bruna Elas, with time already running out, set out to train for victory for Spain.
