OUTSTANDING
This is what I can say. After two big Liceo wins in the first two games. Not on penalties or extra time, 8-2 both games. Igualada forced the 5th match. Winning both games in Les Comes. Congratulations to Igualada, I loved their game during the season.

I want to showcase how important it is to know the pavilion. Even before I start, doing a bit of a spoiler. Which material are the floors made of? Are there any areas that are more slippery than others? Maybe due to use or different paint.
Where are the doors, crucial for swapsHow are the walls? How does the ball rebound on the wall? How does a person rebound on the wall? How tall are the walls?Depending on the floor you may change the wheels you use to feet you personal preference or goalies will use chalk. Heads up for goalies, that method is kind of banned nowadays. I'm not responsible for your decisions. Now, let's get into this. Liceo has a team fault from the area top corner. Dangerous spot. Liceo set the shooter and one player in front of the goalie. Nothing surprising here. Igualada set the defence as usual too. Nothing exciting. Apologise, there is something. Biel Llanes (Igualada N3) is really close to the ball, considering the attacker he is marking in not even on the frame. He is covering the shooter to skate with the ball towards the penalty point and covering the pass line to the middle.
And the last, the goalkeeper position. The goalkeeper is waiting for a shot, so the far way from the cage the better. More space he will cover.Cesar Carballeira (Liceo N5) is the one in charge of the shoot. As soon as the game starts Igualadas’ barriers move forward to cover Cesar’s shot. Super powerful shot, I won't like to be in front of that. Cesar misses the shot. The ball rebounds against the back wall and comes back to the area.
And check this out, Dava Torres (Liceo N8) is able to get the rebound. Dava is really smart, he already got the defender’s back and of course the strong rebound caught the goalie out of place. By surprise and also on how fast it was. Dava in a tap is able to score a goal.
What is important here is not the goal itself but how Dava used his position, wall and his sharpness to win the position and score a goal. I said this before, Dava is a slow player, skating wise. But he touches every ball that is around him. In those tight spaces he is incredibly fast.
Grab a stick & keep skating! Or not
