Fertiberia Handball lose 30-36 against Bidasoa Irún in a match in which they competed with one of the league's best teams during the first half. So much so that they went into half-time one goal ahead on the scoreboard. The lack of replacements due to absences meant that the red-and-whites could not recover after Irún's strong start following the interval.
The match was an uneven contest on paper. One of the best teams in the Liga Sacyr ASOBAL was visiting the Ovni, but the first half was a closely fought duel. The score remained level until the 11th minute, when the red-and-whites took the lead. Roney's goalkeeping, aided by the defence, was crucial, while Corzo, alongside Pozzer and Kozina, led the red-and-white attack. Bidasoa opened up their defence and turned the score around by taking advantage of the red-and-whites' attacking errors and counter-attacking. The visitors managed to move two goals ahead, but Roney's saves and goals from Kozina and Corzo once again enabled Vicent Nogués' side to turn the score around (17-16).
After the interval, Bidasoa Irún came out like a whirlwind, turned the score around and moved five goals ahead. The absences of Toni, Chen, Óscar and Dija left Nogués without replacements, and the players gradually ran out of energy. They could not stop Irún even while enjoying a numerical advantage. When the team raised their game by toughening up their defence, with goals from Mirallave, Corzo and Carou, the visitors stopped the match's momentum, and Nogués' side, despite trying until the end, could do little more.
