Alser Puerto Sagunto were beaten in their second pre-season match, played on Saturday afternoon in a packed sports hall, with around 100 supporters travelling to the town in Teruel, 90 km from Puerto de Sagunto.
The first half belonged to Caja3, who capitalised on the red-and-whites’ understandable sluggishness and lack of coordination in attack. Alser also felt the effects of their effort in the match at Tafalla, in which they beat San Antonio, while the Aragonese side had last played on Wednesday in Granollers.
In defence, an outstanding Peg held back the Aragonese attacks, with Maqueda, Demetrio Lozano and Puerto Sagunto’s Ruiz Casanova giving Caja3’s transitions speed and dynamism.
In the second half, Alser came out with greater purpose, and Moya’s perfect direction and scoring, making him the best of the Valencians, brought the sides closer together.
For Aragón, the lethal Cartón was the spearhead with seven goals, while the aforementioned Moya also scored seven, making them the match’s top scorers.
Next weekend, Alser will play another double-header: on Saturday in Tarancón against Cuenca and on Sunday against Toledo BM in the Toledans’ presentation match.
