The 1 de Agosto Women secured a commanding 58–45 victory over Casa Pessoal Do Porto Do Lobito W on May 31, 2026, in a Campeonato Nacional de Angola Women clash that underlined the defending champions’ depth and defensive discipline. Played at a neutral venue in Luanda, the match was a test of Porto do Lobito’s resilience against a relentless Augusto side that used a suffocating second‑quarter run to take control.

Match Overview

The game began evenly, with both teams trading baskets in a cautious first period. 1 de Agosto’s usual fast‑break rhythm was slowed by Porto do Lobito’s packed zone, but the home side found their range from mid‑range in the second quarter, outscoring their opponents 18–9 to take a 31–22 halftime lead. The third quarter saw Augusto stretch the margin further, holding Porto do Lobito to just eight points while extending their lead to 18 points entering the final frame.

Porto do Lobito mounted a spirited fourth‑quarter response, cutting the deficit to 10 points with five minutes remaining, but 1 de Agosto’s composure at the free‑throw line and a timely three‑pointer from guard Nádia Sebastião sealed the win. The final score of 58–45 reflected a game where defense dictated tempo: Augusto forced 19 turnovers and limited Porto do Lobito to 32% shooting from the field.

Key Moments

• Second‑quarter surge: After a 13–13 tie early in the second period, 1 de Agosto unleashed a 12–2 run over four minutes, built on transition layups and a steal‑and‑score by forward Isabel Alberto.
• Third‑quarter defensive lockdown: Porto do Lobito managed only eight points in the third, missing six straight attempts from beyond the arc. Augusto’s help defense collapsed effectively on drives, forcing contested jumpers.
• Late‑game poise: With Porto do Lobito within 48–38, 1 de Agosto center Helena Viegas converted an and‑one and Sebastião knocked down a step‑back three to push the lead to 16, effectively ending the comeback bid.

Standout Players

Nádia Sebastião led all scorers with 18 points, including three three‑pointers, and added five assists. Her ability to create off the dribble was a constant headache for Porto do Lobito’s perimeter defence. Isabel Alberto contributed a double‑double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, dominating the glass on both ends. For Porto do Lobito, Edvânia Santos fought hard for 14 points and eight rebounds, but received little support from the bench, which managed only six points.

Match Impact

The victory kept 1 de Agosto Women firmly atop the Campeonato Nacional de Angola Women standings, extending their winning streak to seven games. Porto do Lobito, still seeking consistency, dropped to 5–4 on the season but remain in playoff contention. Augusto’s defensive intensity (holding opponents under 50 points for the fourth time this season) reaffirmed their status as the team to beat in Angola women’s basketball.

With the regular season entering its final stretch, every game carries weight. 1 de Agosto will look to maintain momentum as they prepare for a crucial matchup against Interclube Women next week, while Porto do Lobito will aim to regroup and address their offensive stagnation before a mid‑table clash with Primeiro de Maio.
