How to take advantage of a mistake
We are going to jump on a play that is a bit more messy. Not as clean as the ones we are used to. Messy regarding the player's moves, but not less effective. Just harder to understand

By the way, this game is part of the OkLiga finals, yes. Igualada beat Barça. Just outstanding this team performance. Igualada as usual is doing a high defence, pushing 20 metres. What Liceo does is bring the ball to 7. In this situation, Nil Cervera (Liceo N2) is skating with the ball. At the same time Dava Torres (Liceo N8) is skating out from 4. Doing this Liceo is forcing the defense to compress and decompress. Teams work nice on the first one, but after a few, players tend to get lazy and stop going that hard. That is what space teams look for in these situations.Dava instead of bringing the ball out with him, halfway passes to Bruno Saavedra (Lieco N13). This is a risky pass in most situations, but Igualada has a lot of space due to the defence they are doing. Dava sees this and passes to the weak side. Bruno stops the game and passes again to Dava. Dava now is on his own side. Doing this Liceo is trying to open the defence even more.
With this pass all Liceo players are moving towards 0. Moving the defence with them. Dava comes back to the side, while Cervera is back on the halfway but on the opposite side, opening the weak side. Dava gets a double block. Both players doing the block rolls in, Dava does too but slowly looking for the right timing, he is not looking for the individual play.
