Spain Falls to Portugal

Despite strong performances from newcomers Aday Mara (12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists) and Álvaro Cárdenas, Spain's team led by Chus Mateo couldn't overcome Portugal's inspired attack and solid defense. This marks Spain's second defeat, but it shouldn't jeopardize their qualification for the 2027 World Cup.

The Spanish team will look to redeem themselves when they face Greece on Monday, as they continue to find their footing with a new generation of players still gaining experience. forestarrow.rest
