2014-10-08
The first half began with Fertiberia showing good intentions, thanks to Víctor Álvarez's accuracy in front of goal and some good moments from the red-and-white defence. As a result, the Valencians held their own on the court and, after the first 15 minutes, F.C. Barcelona were only two goals ahead (7-9). Sladic then unleashed his right arm and found the net with ease, but despite this good start, Patxi Martí had to call a timeout to make changes and give his players a rest. From that moment on, the Blaugrana stepped up the pace to open up a gap (9-17) after an evenly matched opening. Eventually, Fertiberia were overcome by Xavi Pascual's men, who woke up in time to go into the dressing rooms ahead (11-20).
The second half continued according to the Blaugrana's established script, with a strong defence and balls played to their fast players to extend their lead even further. The red-and-whites took advantage of a dip from the Catalans to put together a 4-0 run and make the scoreline look more respectable. Patxi Martí's men applied greater defensive intensity and the less regular players enjoyed some minutes, but the home reaction was merely a mirage, as the Catalans did not miss their chances and took both points by a score of 27-45.
Fertiberia's next commitment will be on Saturday 18, from 18:00, against newly promoted MMT Seguros Zamora.
