Alser throw away another match in the second half

Alser Puerto Sagunto were beaten 27–24 by BM Antequera at the Fernando Argüelles, in a match they dominated until the 40th minute. The first half ended favourably at 12–14, with their limited resources working perfectly: Bruixola made saves, the 6–0 defence functioned and the goalscorers found their rhythm. In the second half, the goalkeeper change by Antequera unsettled the red-and-whites. Mijatovic made 12 saves from 22 shots, the Valencian defence allowed Málaga to move freely and, when it adjusted, attempts at counter-attacks turned into gifts of the ball to the opposition. This Alser side has a great deal to improve if it wants to remain in Asobal. Let us hope that the return of the injured players and the break until February will change the trend. But first, one final effort on Saturday at the Ovni would give the red-and-whites some breathing space if they beat Octavio.   BM Antequera: Moyano, Mijatovic, Majnov (1), Soto (3), Espigol, Beltza, Radulovic (6), Bustos (4), Ramos (3), Hoyos, Savenco, Rio (1) and Markicevic (5)   Alser BM Puerto Sagunto: Bruixola, Peg, Sorrentino (6), Sifre (3), Tarraso (2), Angel, Chelu Cid (5), Moya de Saz, Ruiz (2), Nacho Moya (2), Prendes (4) and Alegre.   Referees: Alvarez and Bustamante.
