Fertiberia face a decisive final against Villa de Aranda in the last match of the year

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto will play their final match of the year against Villa de Aranda on Saturday 19 December, from 18:30 at the Ovni. The match, corresponding to Matchday 6 of the Sacyr ASOBAL League, will be a decisive relegation battle between two teams hoping to spend Christmas outside the relegation zone. The match will once again have spectators: another 150 fans will be able to enjoy the exciting spectacle at the Municipal Internúcleos Sports Pavilion.

Red-and-white coach Vicent Nogués said before the match that ‘For us, it is a final. A very important match, because it would take us out of the relegation places and we would spend Christmas out of danger.’

Regarding the opposition, the coach commented: ‘We will face a very tough team in defence, very compact, with plenty of players to rotate and many options. They play with great intensity. In attack, they can offer many coordinated solutions: they have numerous players who contribute in two-on-two situations, with outside shooting and in one-on-one situations.’

‘I believe that here at home, with our supporters, if we perform at the level we should, we will get the two points. I think the team is very good defensively, and if we play fluently in attack and have the confidence we show when we are playing well, we can achieve our objective. If we are consistent for all 60 minutes, we will win the match and spend this Christmas in the position—not the one we would like to be in, but one closer to safety,’ concludes Vicent Nogués.

The Ovni will also have supporters on Saturday

Once again, following measures introduced by the Generalitat and Sagunto Town Council, there will be a capacity of 150 people.
