Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto want to end the year with a home win

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto will play on Saturday 21 December, from 18:30, against Club Balonmano Dólmenes Antequera. The match corresponding to Matchday 15 of the Silver Honour Division will take place at the Poliesportiu Municipal Port de Sagunt, and the red-and-whites face it ‘with eagerness and excitement’ to secure the final home victory in front of their supporters.

The red-and-white team arrive for the match after securing two important away points against direct rivals Trops Málaga. After four matches unbeaten, Malla's side want to give their supporters the final victory of 2024. Malla says they arrive for the match ‘eager to say goodbye to the year with our people and put in a good performance’.

Regarding the opponents they will face, Malla says that ‘Antequera are visiting us and, in my view, based on their style of play and their players, they are not in the position in the table they deserve. They are a team with good players who have a great deal of experience in the Silver Honour Division, such as Nico López, Aitor and Abad. Offensively, they are very dangerous, have many options and play very good handball. Defensively, when they are together, balanced and help one another, they are a solid team’.

According to Toni Malla, the key to winning is concentration and avoiding the anxiety of beating an opponent near the bottom of the table: ’We have to be very focused and not fall victim to our anxiety when we play against opponents who are below us in the table’. Malla is also clear that this match is a genuine final for the team's objectives: ‘It is a very important match, marked in red, which we are treating as a genuine final. It is the last one before the break and these two points are indispensable for us to secure safety as soon as possible’.

‘I encourage people to come and help us continue this run of four matches without losing, to see whether we can make it five. It is also a chance to experience the final match of the year together and enjoy the team, which I believe are doing a magnificent job day after day and matchday after matchday’, Maya concludes.
