Fertiberia suffer a narrow defeat in Seville

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto suffered a narrow 19-18 defeat to Proin Balonmano Sevilla in a closely fought match that either side could have won, but ultimately the balance tipped in favour of the hosts.

The match began with Fertiberia quickly establishing a two-goal lead on the scoreboard with goals from Barceló(5), Del Valle (2), (Plaza) and Matheus(5), among others. But before half-time, the Seville side turned the scoreline around and went into the break 11-10 ahead.

After the interval, the Proin Sevilla moved three goals clear (13-10) and Toni Malla called a time-out. On 20 minutes, the red-and-whites turned the match around again and moved back in front. After Plaza was shown a red card, Sevilla moved one goal ahead again. Malla called another time-out, but the Sevilla goalkeeper saved a final seven-metre throw and the red-and-whites returned from Seville empty-handed.
