Fertiberia comfortably beat Balonmano Santoña

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto secured a convincing victory over Balonmano Santoña (30–24) in a match in which they struggled to get going in the first half but won comfortably in the second.

The match began evenly on the Ovni’s blue court, with the score moving through an exchange of goals until Nogués’ side’s missed chances in front of goal allowed Santoña to take the lead by capitalising on counter-attacks. The red-and-whites’ response was swift, and they turned the score around thanks to goals from Leo Querín and Guillermo Corzo. Their missed chances nearly gave Nogués’ side a fright, as they came close to going into half-time level, but that did not happen in the end (13–12).

After the break, the red-and-whites put their strange first half behind them thanks to a great team effort, reaching the 25th minute with a seven-goal lead over Santoña. Nogués gave the younger players some minutes, and they delivered on court.
