Fertiberia unable to overcome a superior Nava

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto lose 25-31 in a match in which it took them time to get into the game, but they kept trying to level the contest until the end. Absences continue to hamper Fertiberia, who hope to bring some injured players back into training after the break. The match began with Nava asserting their superiority in the opening minutes and moving three goals clear, while Malla’s men tried to prevent the visitors from pulling away on the scoreboard with goals from Plaza and Parera. However, Nava’s defence and saves from Luis de Vega meant that they went into the break 11-17 down.

After the interval, Malla’s men did not lower their arms and, before the 20-minute mark, reduced the deficit to four on the scoreboard and raised hopes in the stands, showing that the match was not lost. They defended more strongly, with saves from Luka, and stepped up their attacking play with goals from Plaza (8), Parera (6) and Nolasco (4). Ultimately, the points went to Nava (25-31).
