Fertiberia overpower Asobal side Cangas and continue fighting for the Copa del Rey

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto beat Frigoríficos Morrazo without fear (31-25) and progressed in the Copa del Rey. The red-and-whites put in an excellent defensive performance against an Asobal team and will approach Saturday’s match against Torrelavega with very high morale. Fertiberia took to the Ovni court with the same attitude they had shown in the second half against Novas. The red-and-whites were very solid in defence, with Bruixola outstanding in goal and the wings, Folqués and Pocholo, quick on the counter-attack. This fast-paced play took the Galicians out of the match, and they did not start to wake up until the end of the second half, when they moved to within one goal of the Valencians (12-11). After the interval, Cangas tried to assert their authority on the Ovni’s blue court, but they could do nothing against the defence led by Jaka and Marcos, nor against the empty-net goals scored by the red-and-whites. Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto: Ivan Montoya (3), Dija Cruz (1), Mirallave (3), Pocholo (6), Leo Querin (1), Jaka (1), Marcos Dorado (4), David Bruixola (2), Juan Carlos Chueca, Guillermo Corzo (4), Iñigo Celorrio, Óscar García (2), Ángel Lopez, Josep Folques (4), Javier Manzano, Camacho BM Cangas: Javier Diaz, Filip Vujovic (4), Augusto Manuel (6), Rubén David Soliño (1), David Chapela (4), Pablo Galán, Máximo Cancio (1), Franco Daniel (1), Daniel Cerqueira (1), Adrián Menduiña (3), Alen, Mihajlo (1), Ángel Rodríguez, Pablo Castro (1).
