Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto know how to win with the youngsters

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto won 26-35 this afternoon against C. H. Alcàsser, before the friendly match played by the Valencian national team against the Saudi Arabia national team in Picassent. The first half began with Fertiberia fully focused on the match and concentrated on stopping Alcàsser's first attacks after Toni Alegre, in a mixed defence, stole three consecutive balls which he did not hesitate to convert. In this way, the red-and-whites took control of the match in the opening minutes with a comfortable four-goal lead (5-9). The following minutes continued in the same vein, and Patxi Martí then brought on the youngsters so they could enjoy minutes with the first team. The academy players put in a good first-half performance, playing a leading role in several attacking moves. Ultimately, Fertiberia ended the first half seven goals ahead (12-19). After the interval, the red-and-whites took to the court with several academy players in the starting seven, who put in a good performance, notably Ángel López with three goals, and one each from José Piro, Pablo del Rincón and Alberto Domingo. In terms of the play, the second half was a carbon copy of the first: the red-and-whites were superior across the court against a team playing in the national second division. Patxi Martí's men were not caught out and soon pulled away on the scoreboard, achieving their largest lead of ten goals (20-30). The final minutes were merely a formality given the friendly nature of the match, and Fertiberia secured their first victory of this winter pre-season (26-35). A notable match in which several players from the red-and-white academy made their first-team debuts and performed impressively. The red-and-whites' next match will be next Friday the 17th in Cuenca against GlobalCaja Ciudad Encantada.
