MATCH REPORTS AND FIXTURES
Alser Club BM. Puerto Sagunto lose in Torrevieja
ALSER BM. Puerto Sagunto were defeated in the regional derby against BM Torrevieja in a match dominated from start to finish by the home side. The red-and-white team were without Stefanovic and Nebot, as well as the most problematic absence in terms of its likely duration, Marko Dzokic, whose season has practically ended due to his knee injury. With all this, and the difficulties in arranging training sessions because of other players’ complaints during the week, a difficult visit to the Cecilio Gallego was expected.

ALSER BM. Puerto Sagunto were defeated in the regional derby against BM Torrevieja in a match dominated from start to finish by the home side.
The red-and-white team were without Stefanovic and Nebot, as well as the most problematic absence in terms of its likely duration, Marko Dzokic, whose season has practically ended due to his knee injury. With all this, and the difficulties in arranging training sessions because of other players’ complaints during the week, a difficult visit to the Cecilio Gallego was expected.
From the outset, the team remained within a few goals of the seven coached by Manolo Laguna, but after the first quarter of an hour the gap gradually widened, reaching six goals by half-time.
With Cuartero and former red-and-white player Jorge leading the counter-attacks, and thanks to an exceptional performance by the home goalkeeper Pejanovic, Goran Dzokic’s players were outplayed throughout the match. Only Patxi Peg put in a good performance, keeping the deficit down despite the imprecise defensive balance following the numerous missed shots by the Puerto players.
The final five minutes of the match made the result even more disappointing, if that were possible, as the home side scored a 7-2 run and reached their largest lead of the game.
The best thing was the nearly 150 red-and-white supporters who never stopped cheering their team despite the poor match played by their players.
There is nothing left to do but look ahead and try to pick up points in the ASOBAL League as soon as possible.
