Alser win and impress in BM Huesca presentation match

Alser BM Puerto Sagunto beat BM Huesca 28–34 in the presentation match of the Huesca side, newly promoted to the ASOBAL league for the 2011–2012 season. The red-and-whites showed their best side. Balonmano Huesca welcomed ALSER BM Puerto Sagunto for their official presentation, eager to please their loyal supporters in their debut in the top tier of Spanish handball. The Valencians, old acquaintances of the hosts, took to the Palacio de los Deportes aiming to continue their progress during pre-season, but above all to enter the matches with greater intensity so as not to compromise the flow of the game. The first half was marked by errors and defensive lapses, the result of the stage of the season, while in attack they faced a tough challenge against the defensive system characteristic of Alicante-born José Nolasco. The red-and-whites, led by Nacho Moya in both direction and scoring, with Sorrentino and Muiña, managed to breach the Huesca goal, although they could not pull away on the scoreboard. After the interval, Dzokic’s players emerged with greater defensive intensity, preventing connections between the hosts’ back line and pivot. Stefanovic and Fernández worked well in the centre, and together with Bruixola’s excellent performance in goal, this led to fast breaks and team moves in which Prendes and Muiña took on the scoring responsibility with patience and good execution. The Puerto Sagunto side established the largest lead of the second half, thanks to their good play and the accumulated fatigue of the hosts, who were playing their third match that week, prompting the home coach to call a timeout. The Huesca side used the final minutes to reduce the deficit, while the Valencians shared playing time among all their players.
