Fertiberia draw against Amenabar Zarautz

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto draw 39–39 in a match in which they were not at their best defensively.

The match began very evenly; Fertiberia were the first to take the lead, but Zarautz drew level before the 20-minute mark and went two goals ahead. After a Malla time-out, the red-and-whites restored parity (19–19), but the Basque side regained the lead before half-time, leaving the score at 19–20.

After the half-time break, the Fertiberia turned the score around with goals from Arnau and Novais, among others. But once again the Basque side went ahead. It was a nail-biting finish in which anything could have happened. Fertiberia toughened up their defence and, despite having the ball to win, Amenabar Zarautz could not do so. The red-and-whites also missed their final shot at the last moment, and the match ended with the points shared.
