2014-05-10
The first half began with an inspired F.C. Barcelona in attack, and they quickly moved four goals ahead, prompting Fertiberia's first timeout. Despite the poor start, the red-and-whites awoke from their slumber by scoring a 3-0 run against the blue-and-garnets. After a few somewhat chaotic minutes, Xavi Pascual's men took control of the match, extending their lead to six goals and ensuring that Fertiberia could not catch them by surprise. Ultimately, the red-and-whites could do nothing to break through the well-organised Barcelona defence, and Patxi Martí gave his less frequently used players minutes to build up match rhythm. As a result, Fertiberia reduced the deficit and went into half-time 13-22 down.
After the interval, F.C. Barcelona did not lower their level of play and, through good defending, withstood Fertiberia's bold attempts. The minutes went in the Catalans' favour as their lead continued to grow, reaching thirteen goals, so Patxi Martí had to stop the match with a timeout to make changes to his tactics. The Valencian coach brought on the less frequently used players so that they could get minutes and the regulars would not suffer as much fatigue. Ultimately, Fertiberia could do nothing to stop the newly crowned league champions, who added another victory to their tally, winning 28-44.
