The Playoff for permanence in LEWaterpolo DHM is resolved with two very close matches that reflected the desire of both teams to remain in the highly competitive league. After two hard-fought victories against CN Sant Feliu, Geodesic Real Canoe NC has achieved permanence.

The first duel was held at Pez Volador, where the hosts won with two strong first sets at 5-3 and 4-2 . Even so, 'Santfe' did not give up and gave them a 3-5 lead in the third period that, with another 2-3, was about to come back. However, the victory ended up being for the canoists by the minimum with a 14-13.

In the second game, those from Sant Feliu gave everything to win. So much so that they forced a penalty shootout. The first set was 2-1 for them. But Emilio Bautista's men pressed with two new periods at 1-2. This took them to the last quarter with the score at 4-5, which the Catalans managed to overcome with a 3-2 score that gave them a tie. Finally, on penalties, the victory went to Canoe with a 6-7 (13-14 overall).

In the first leg, Víctor Gutiérrez stood out with 77 rating points that gave him the MVP. In the return, Gabriel Acosta took it with 83. The Madrid team achieved an average effectiveness of 40% in the two matches, in addition to a 53% effectiveness in saves - key to achieving such close victories.

The Ideal Seven of the Playoff Final for the LEWaterpolo DHM title was like this:

• Buoy: Darko Stojanovic (SFE - 76 points)
• 1-2: Ronen Grosz (CAN - 64) and Mario González (CAN - 53)
• 4-5: Marc Lucena (SFE - 48) and Abel Romero (CAN - 57)
• Buoy cover: Iván Alcón (CAN - 61)
• Goalkeeper: Javier Benavides (CAN - 84)

With these results, unfortunately, CN Sant Feliu loses the category and is relegated. We hope to see you soon at LEWaterpolo DHM.
