BM Aragón storm the Ovni after Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto go four months unbeaten at home

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto lost 29–34 to Caja3 BM Aragón, against an opponent who imposed their considerable superiority and gave the red-and-whites no opportunity to continue their positive home run at home. The opening minutes were very even. The red-and-whites opened the scoring, but the Aragón side soon equalised (3-3) and took the initiative, determined not to be caught out by Fertiberia. From the 15th minute onwards, the scoreboard showed 6-7 to the visitors; the red-and-whites were unable to finish their attacks successfully, as Argüillas gave them no chance. The match’s biggest lead came in the 25th minute in favour of Mariano Ortega’s side (9-12), thanks to Alex Dujshebaev’s excellent form and the red-and-whites’ defensive shortcomings. Despite Fertiberia’s hesitant start, they went into half-time just one goal behind (13-14), following a final goal with five seconds remaining that offered a glimmer of hope for the second half. After the interval, the Aragón team returned to the court more actively and quickly imposed a passing game that troubled the red-and-white defence. From the 15th minute onwards, the gap on the scoreboard widened (20-23); the red-and-white attack could do nothing to breach Argüillas’s goal, as he emerged as his team’s standout player. The final minutes were merely a formality for the visitors. The scoreboard showed 26-30, thanks to their greater activity, while Fertiberia’s poor attacking accuracy offered little assistance. The match ended with the red-and-whites visibly worn out after attempting a comeback, but Caja3 demonstrated their considerable dominance and took both points from the Ovni (29-34). It is worth highlighting, firstly, the participation in a friendly mini-match during the interval by the school teams from Vilamar school. Both teams were the protagonists of an enjoyable ten-minute friendly. Secondly, the magnificent support that carried the team forward deserves mention. Ultimately, Fertiberia’s six-match unbeaten run at the Ovni came to an end, and they are already beginning to think about their next match against the league’s unbeaten leaders, F. C. Barcelona Intersport, next Saturday the 23rd at 18:30, in a match corresponding to the 19th round of the Asobal League.
