Fertiberia secure an important victory against Barça B

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto secure an important 31-29 victory against Barça Atlètic in a highly competitive match that they fought until the end. As a result, the red-and-whites finish the round in fourth place with 25 points.

The match began with a very effective Fertiberia in attack and with the goalwell protected by the defence and saves from Dani Martínez. So much so that they soon went 7-1 ahead. After a time-out from the Barça coach, the reserve side reacted. Fertiberia's attack was hampered by Saric in goal and the visitors reduced the deficit. Even so, Malla's side went into half-time one goal ahead (14-13).

After the interval, thematch became highly intense. The red-and-whites gained a small lead but failed to put the match beyond doubt, and in the final minutes, spurred on by the supporters, a determined red-and-white team fought until the end for victory, helped by Dani Martínez's saves and the good attacking play of Novais (8), Seke (5) and Arnau (4), among others.
