CB Algeciras has secured its first victory in the Second FEB promotion phase by defeating Marín Peixe de Galicia 76-69. This win, achieved in Alginet (Valencia), follows an initial loss to Estudiantes and allows the team coached by Miki Ortega to keep its promotion aspirations alive.

The Algeciras squad will face the final matchday with the possibility of achieving direct promotion, depending on other results. A win this Saturday against Nou Bàsquet Torrent, who are already out of contention, would guarantee at least second place, which leads to a playoff.

The game against Marín started with difficulties for CB Algeciras, which showed signs of fatigue from the previous match and was outplayed in the early stages, ending the first quarter with an unfavorable score (24-12). Despite the deficit, the team managed to stay in the game and reduce the gap by halftime (39-29).

After the break, CB Algeciras showed significant improvement. With solid defense and strong competitive spirit, the team staged a memorable comeback in the final period. The points from Mark Mensah (14), Alberto Artiles (14), and Romar Reid (17) were crucial in sealing the victory.

The direct promotion chances for CB Algeciras depend on winning their match against Torrent. The final standings will also be influenced by the outcome between Estudiantes and Marín, with various scenarios possible depending on the point differences in the scores.
