Fertiberia draw in the final minute against Sin Fin

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto draw 38-38 with Balonmano Sin Fin in a match in which neither team were sharp in defence and which was a nail-biter until the 60th minute, when Nolasco equalised from the penalty spot. A share of the points that leaves both teams dissatisfied, as they remain at the bottom of the table.

The match began with Fertiberia showing superiority on the Ovni court, defending their goal and finishing superbly in attack, where Nolasco and Lander stood out, with four goals each. Malla's side built a four-goal lead, which Sin Fin began to reduce after a timeout and with Ernerto making saves in goal. Despite this, before half-time the Santander side turned the score around and went into the dressing room leading by one (21-22)

After the half-time break, Fertiberia reduced the three-goal lead that Sin Fin had built with more fluid attacking play led by a superb Pujol (5), Parera (5) and Nolasco (10). Both teams' defences were conspicuous by their absence and, just when it seemed Fertiberia were getting back into the match by coming from behind, Poveda's dismissal weakened the team, who saw Sin Fin take a one-goal lead. The final minutes? Heart-stopping. A succession of goals left the visiting team ahead until Nolasco levelled the contest on the buzzer from 7 metres.
