lser Puerto Sagunto drew 27–27 with BM Huesca in a match that began promisingly against a direct rival but which they ultimately failed to close out successfully and secure the two points they so badly needed.
In the opening minutes of the match, the home side were determined to take both points. The first half could not have started better for the red-and-whites: after the first 10 minutes they were already ahead 4–3, thanks to saves from an outstanding Peg and the red-and-whites’ accuracy in attack. From the 20th minute onwards, they built a four-goal lead, as the Huesca side became bogged down in attack thanks to Goran Dzokic’s defence. As a result, Alser went into half-time ahead (13–10).
The second half did not begin as Alser had hoped, as the visitors pressed and reduced the deficit to 16–14, thanks to Pesic’s accuracy in attack. However, the red-and-white team recovered and maintained that gap through goals from Sorrentino, Tarraso and Sifre. The final five minutes were thrilling and the red-and-whites looked superior, but poor finishing in attack and nerves caused by the need to secure the two points meant that the match ended in a 27–27 draw.
Ultimately, bad luck and the woodwork denied Alser victory, leaving the team with just five points in the table. They now await their next match in Antequera on Wednesday the 14th, where the red-and-whites have an opportunity to repay the fans for the point lost today.
