Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto win convincingly to finish second in their group

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto won 21–16 this morning against Transpilas BM Aguilas in a match in which the red-and-whites proved a level above their opponents and therefore had no difficulty securing second place in the group behind Felmar BM La Roca, who achieved a clean sweep of victories. The match began with the teams evenly matched, following two days of competition, which was evident in both sides’ play. Some players took to the court carrying knocks and the coaches had to call on the bench. In the first ten minutes, the red-and-whites took the lead thanks to their effectiveness from the wings. The Transpilas BM Aguilas coach had to call a timeout after seeing his team three goals down (7–4). The stoppage had the desired effect for the visitors, as the Valencians managed a 2–0 run after BM Aguilas had lost possession several times. The first half ended with Fertiberia in control on court, defending well and allowing their opponents no opportunities, with a five-goal lead (10–5). Fertiberia came out of the changing rooms determined to close out the match as soon as possible. Chovi made changes to give the team a fresh impetus, and they concentrated solely on preserving their five-goal lead. The script did not change for the Murcia side, who saw that every time they closed the gap, Fertiberia shifted up another gear to pull away. Despite the red-and-whites’ superiority, the home coach had to call a timeout to halt the visitors’ momentum when they were only three goals behind (15–12). In the end, the red-and-whites claimed their second victory to finish as group runners-up, showing their level and how much room they still have to grow.
