Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto lose 30-31 in the final second of a match they managed to turn around despite everything being against them, but which the visitors won in the final second.
The match began very evenly and with tension. Both teams came out determined to take the two points on offer. Puente Genil were the first to move ahead on the scoreboard, but the red-and-whites did not want to fall behind and, with goals from Nolasco, Plaza, the wingers Nil and Arón, and Parera, remained in the match as they tried to reduce the three-goal lead established by the Puente Genil team. It was not to be, and they went into the break 14-17 down.After the interval, Daniel Martínez’s saves gave the red-and-whites wings, and before the 10-minute mark they had turned the match around thanks to Alex Plazas’s excellent finishing and two consecutive goals from Parera. Malla’s side moved ahead, playing with great intensity and backed throughout by a full Port de Sagunt Pavilion, whose fans cheered ‘we are going to win this match’. In the 28th minute, Puente Genil reduced the deficit to one goal and their coach stopped the match with a timeout. The visiting team scored from a penalty, Fertiberia lost possession and Puente Genil won in the final second.
After the match, Malla expressed his disappointment with the result because ‘we were worthy winners of the match. Despite the absences, which were joined today by Poveda’s, we tried everything and paid far too dearly for a mistake in the final minute’.
