Heavy defeat for Fertiberia against Algemesí

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto could not overcome Maristas de Algemesí in their second match of the season, losing 29–21 in a disastrous performance that can only serve to correct mistakes. The match did not begin as expected against a Primera Nacional side. The red-and-whites were far too open in defence and once again could not find the target in attack, so much so that they reached the 15th minute with the score at 9–4. With Guillermo Corzo in the centre and goals from Marcos Dorado, they began to reduce the deficit in a match made difficult by the heat in the Algemesí venue. The red-and-whites went into the break 16–10 down. After the interval, things did not improve. The home side came out determined to finish the job and produced an opening 4–2 run. Nogués gave Adrián Ribes his debut in goal, and he began the second half with a double save. Just as it seemed the red-and-whites were beginning to wake up in attack, the Algemesí players started running on the counter-attack, preventing Nogués’s side from continuing to reduce the deficit. When the home side led by nine goals, the red-and-white coach called a timeout, but it had little effect. Although Algemesí could not find a way past the red-and-white defence, Nogués’s side could do little more because the home goalkeeper shut up shop. Adrián Ribes and Gabi Sánchez made their DHP debuts.
