Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto beat Balonmano Caserío 29–30 in extremis, in a match that was very even in the second half and which either team could have won in the closing stages, but a goal from Poveda with four seconds remaining sent the two points to Puerto Sagunto.
The match began very evenly, with Fertiberia taking the initiative but unable to establish a gap against a very fast Caserío Ciudad Real side on the counter-attack, which prevented the red-and-white defence from settling. However, goals from Poveda, Aron, Albizu and Pau saw them go into the interval four goals ahead (14–18).
After the interval, Fertiberia came out determined to maintain their lead on the scoreboard. But in the 43rd minute, Caserío moved to within one goal by capitalising on the red-and-whites’ errors in attack and breaking quickly. The red-and-whites began to feel increasingly uncomfortable on the Ciudad Real court after a series of consecutive suspensions. The home side levelled the match in the 50th minute, but despite the score becoming increasingly tight, Toni Malla’s team did not give up and toughened up their defence. They eventually won with four seconds remaining through a goal from Vicente Poveda.
