Despite facing significant absences, the Seville players displayed a serious and courageous start to the match, managing to keep pace with one of the championship's most consistent teams. However, the greater squad depth and effectiveness of the visiting team ultimately tipped the scales.
The game began with a blow from Getxo, who capitalized on their first opportunity to take the lead with a converted try. Far from being discouraged, the Cocos reacted with determination, scoring a try by Katie Barnes, which Concha Moreno converted to equalize the score.
The first half was marked by a constant exchange of blows. Although the Basque team managed two additional tries that seemed to open a gap, the green-and-blacks resisted and narrowed the distance before halftime with an action by Marta Carmona ‘Arahal’, leaving the score at a tight 12-19.
After the break, Getxo increased their intensity and scored again in the early stages, extending their lead and forcing the Seville team to fight uphill. Despite the disadvantage, the Cocos did not give up and got back into the game with a try by Rocío Neyra, again converted, which brought the home team closer to 19-24 and kept hope alive.
The defeat marks the end of a season characterized by maximum equality in the competition, where small details have made the difference between the top teams.
However, this was the last comeback attempt. Getxo's response was forceful, with two new tries by Luisina Contreras in just a few minutes that definitively sealed the match. In the final stretch, the score remained unchanged, and the lack of freshness from the Seville players, coupled with Getxo's solid defense, prevented any further comeback attempts.
Simón Verde Sport Cocos Sevilla thus concludes its cup participation, having competed on equal terms for much of the match against one of the main contenders. The green-and-black team bids farewell to a demanding season, demonstrating character and commitment, despite circumstances, especially injuries, that affected their performance at key moments.
