Breogán needed a jolt — and found it in a game that swung hard after the opening 10 minutes. After surrendering 26 points in the first quarter, Breogán controlled the final three periods and beat Manresa 91-78 on March 28, 2026, at Pazo dos Deportes.
The win matters in context: both teams came in at 9-14, with Breogán carrying a WLLLL form line and Manresa arriving LLWLW. Breogán didn’t just win — it changed the texture of the night after falling behind early, finishing with a 13-point cushion built on sustained second-half separation.
Game flow: from early deficit to full control
Manresa landed the first punch, outscoring Breogán 26-15 in the opening quarter. But the game turned immediately after.
Breogán answered with a 24-17 second quarter to tighten the margin going into halftime, then took over with back-to-back winning quarters: 23-20 in the third and a decisive 29-15 in the fourth.
That final period was the separator. Breogán’s 29 points in the fourth — paired with holding Manresa to 15 — turned a competitive game into a clear finish. Over the final three quarters, Breogán outscored Manresa 76-52, a 24-point swing after the slow start.
Turning point: the fourth-quarter squeeze
The fourth quarter was where Breogán’s work became a result. After gradually reclaiming control in the middle quarters, Breogán closed with its best offensive stretch of the night while simultaneously cutting Manresa’s scoring pace. When Manresa couldn’t match the tempo late, the gap widened quickly.
What it means going forward
For Breogán, the win is a needed correction after a rough patch in form (WLLLL entering the night). In a table where every game shapes the margins, beating a direct peer with the same 9-14 record — and doing it with a strong finish — is the kind of result that can stabilize a season.
For Manresa, the opening quarter showed the ceiling, but the inability to sustain that level across 40 minutes is the headline. Manresa’s 26-point first quarter was followed by 17, 20 and 15 — a steady decline that left no room for error once Breogán found rhythm.
