Fertiberia beat CD Agustinos Alicante by the narrowest of margins

🔴⚪️
Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto secured a narrow 26-27 victory against CD Agustinos in a match dominated by the red-and-whites, but in which they nearly lost a point in the final minutes.

The first half was a battle of defences that Nogués' side ultimately ‘won’, as Agustinos' second-string players proved weaker. The red-and-whites built a five-goal lead, which the home side reduced before the end of the first half; the teams therefore went into the break at 12-15. Folqués, Jaka, Bruixola and Dorado put in excellent first-half performances.

After half-time, Latorre's side tightened up the match. But Bruixola stepped up to make two crucial saves. Despite that, two late mistakes meant the red-and-whites nearly lost a point.

The tireless support of the red-and-white faithful, who travelled to Alicante to cheer on the team, deserves special mention.
