Fertiberia fight but fall to Logroño

Fertiberia fell 24-28 to Balonmano Ciudad de Logroño in a very even match in which attacking errors in the final minutes of the second half condemned them to lose their third consecutive game. The team held firm by working from the defence, and did very well in goal. Chen (5), Kozina (4) and Oscar (4) stood out in attack.

The first half of the match was very even. The score was a constant exchange of goals until Fertiberia moved ahead on the scoreboard in the 20th minute (+2). The good work of the red-and-white defence, the Franzini wall and the goals from a fast Óscar García, an accurate Nacho Mirallave from 7 metres, as well as Carou and Leo, played a major part in this. The franjivinos were excessively physical in defence and were heavily penalised with suspensions, which meant that Nogués's side played with a numerical advantage for many minutes of the first half. Before half-time, the visitors reduced the deficit and went into the break 11-10 down.

After the interval, both teams came out like bulls onto the Ovni court, but Logroño soon moved ahead on the scoreboard. Fertiberia held on and remained in the game until just before the 20th minute, when the visitors established a four-goal lead.

It is worth remembering that next Wednesday, 2 December, supporters have an essential appointment, as the ordinary members' meeting will be held at the Civic Centre at 7 pm. The maximum capacity will be 40 people, admitted strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
