Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto cannot overcome a wounded León

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto lost 23–30 to Reale Ademar León, against a superior opponent who gave the Valencians no chance, resulting in their fourth consecutive defeat. Ademar dominated the opening stages and, after the first ten minutes, already led on the scoreboard (2–5), showing their high level of play and taking advantage of a somewhat nervous start from the red-and-whites. Vicent Nogués’s side, meanwhile, were not showing their best form, with their attack and defence somewhat bogged down, which was exploited by Ademar’s top scorer, Carlos Ruesga. The Valencian coach’s instructions had no effect on the red-and-white squad, so the gap increased without much difficulty for the León side. Eventually, Fertiberia went into the dressing rooms seven goals behind (7–11), presenting a completely different image from that seen in León. After the interval, the situation did not change and Ademar played with ease away from home, imposing their game with error-free attacking play and a notable performance from Malumbres in goal. From the tenth minute onwards, a brief respite was used by Fertiberia to reduce the deficit with a 3–0 run, but a few minutes later the León side pulled away again (18–23), effectively deciding the match. The second half eventually ended 23–30, reflecting the many inaccuracies in the red-and-white side’s play against a much superior team throughout the match. Ultimately, it was a very one-sided match that could not be contested. The next match will be played on Sunday the 10th at 17.00 against second-placed BM At. Madrid, and will be broadcast on Teledeporte.
