Fertiberia suffer a heavy defeat in Valladolid

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto lost 33-26 in a match decided in the final minutes of the first half, when they paid dearly for their mistakes in front of goal and their exclusions. The red-and-whites who finished the match with dignity, are still without opening their account in the standings and their next opportunity to do so will be on Saturday 23 September, from 8 pm, at the Ovni, against BM Logroño.

The match began very evenly, with two combative teams defending well and goalkeepers performing excellently. Dani Martínez once again lowered the shutters, as in the opening match of the Professional Plenitude Asobal league Professional Plenitude Asobal against Torrelavega. This, added to the fact that the red-and-whites stepped up their attack, meant that Malla’s side wentthree points aheadon the scoreboard. Valladolid’s manager stopped the match and the Valladolid side improved defensively. Despite goals from Del Valle and Nolasco, the home side tightened the scoreboard (9-9). At that point Malla was the one who stopped the match, but two consecutive exclusions, for Correro and Olba, together with mistakes in front of goal and César’s saves, meant that the Valladolid sidedecided the match before half-time (20-12).

After the interval, the match became a series of turnovers and attacking errors by the red-and-whites, which turned into counter-attacking goals for the home side. The lead grew to 11 in favour of the Huerta del Rey side. The red-and-whites, emotionally shaken after the disastrous end to the first half, were left without options or ideas at the start of the second. Not even Dani Martínez’s saves (11) between the posts helped the Valencians reduce the deficit. But after the first 15 minutes of the second half, the comeback began for Malla’s side and, despite the score, they did not lower their arms and produced a 1-4 run .. Nor the red card shown to Del Valle stopped them from continuing to fight until the end.
