MATCH REPORTS AND FIXTURES

Alser Puerto Sagunto aim to earn points against a Champions League side from León

2011-09-27

Alser Puerto Sagunto have joined forces with their supporters to overcome a Champions League opponent in Reale Ademar León, who will visit the Ovni tomorrow, Wednesday, from 8.15 pm in an advanced match from the fourth round of the Asobal League. Both sides arrive for the match with two very different realities: Reale have won every match they have played, while Alser are yet to earn a point this year. The opposition and the statistics certainly do not inspire optimism, but Goran Dzokic's men have vowed to make the Ovni a protective shield once again in their bid to remain in the Asobal League for another year. The visitors from León arrive at the Ovni without Cabanas through injury, and Goñi and Cutura by the coach's decision, but with Gonzalo Carou and international left back Antonio Garcia recovered after missing the previous match. The depth of the León squad contrasts with the problems facing the red-and-whites, who will probably be without Marko Dzokic and Bojan Stefanovic for this match after he was injured in Alser Puerto Sagunto's last game at Palau Blaugrana. This would mean Goran having to field the young Samuel Ibañez and Nacho Moya del Saz. All in all, this is a highly interesting match between two opponents who are unequal financially and sporting-wise. However, the Asobal League has already shown that the gaps are not insurmountable and that the big names are beginning to stumble against theoretically weaker opponents.
