Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto struggled but beat Sant Martí Adrianenc 28–30 in a match the home side started strongly and in which the red-and-whites suffered until the end.

In the first half, the home team started strongly. Sant Martí Adrianenc came onto the court determined to take the two points because of everything they had at stake. The red-and-whites soon levelled the score, but their good fortune did not last long, as several rushed attacks allowed the Sant Martí players to break quickly on the counter, giving the Catalans a significant lead on the scoreboard. This advantage gradually diminished until the 26th minute of the first half, when Folqués put the red-and-whites ahead. The home side equalised again, and the Catalan team’s goalkeeper was the hero of the first half with his saves. After all this, they went into the break at 16–14.
