Alser beaten heavily in the final pre-season match
Alser suffered a heavy 30–21 defeat in Palma del Río. The red-and-whites had a poor first half, with numerous errors in shooting leading to as many as seven Córdoba counter-attacks. The score at half-time was already a decisive 17–10. The second half began in the same way, and at seven minutes into the half, 21–12 suggested the worst. Neither Nebot’s fighting spirit, nor Ibrahim Moral’s excellent performance, today’s top scorer with five goals, could improve the performance of the orange-clad side. At the end of the match, coach Nogués gave us his assessment and identified the key factors: “The lack of attitude, fatigue from the two journeys, missed six-metre shots, turnovers in attack, and we also felt the absence of Iker, Fernando and Bruixola.”
