The Zarautz KE Women's Basque League team secured an important victory on Sunday at Asti Txiki, defeating Anaitasuna 3-0. This result boosts the team's hopes of staying in the category, despite a challenging end to the season. For the squad led by Iñigo Mutio, this match was the first of four remaining 'finals,' making a win essential to achieve their goal.

The game was not easy, with nerves evident from the start. The first half ended goalless, but shortly after the second half began, Ruiz de Azúa put the home side ahead. However, the tension persisted until the very end. It wasn't until after the 80th minute that Zarautz found the net again, scoring two quick goals through Garro in the 82nd minute and Iruretagoiena in the 84th, thus sealing the victory.

With this win, Zarautz now has 24 points, placing them third from bottom, with Añorga (23 points) and Bizkeneskak (22 points) behind them. Ahead, Ugao and Lakua both have 26 points. With 9 points still in play, the team must focus on their next three opponents: Bilbao Artizarrak away, Pauldarrak at home, and Bizkeneskak away again.

Meanwhile, the National League youth team also achieved a significant victory on Saturday, beating Santutxu B 3-1 at Asti. Jaime Colado's boys took a nearly definitive step towards securing their permanence in the category. Castro put the home side ahead in the 18th minute, and in the second half, Arregi and Alberdi consolidated the win. They now sit in thirteenth place with 36 points, looking to the future with greater confidence with five matches remaining.

In contrast, the Tercera Federación team had no luck on their trip to the Alavese capital, losing 5-1 against Alavés C. The team, managed by the duo Landa and Arregi, suffered their first defeat. Jokin Larrañaga scored the honorary goal for Zarautz immediately after entering the field and with his first touch of the ball. The team must forget this result and focus on their next match, against Santurtzi on Sunday at Asti.
