Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto will remain in Asobal

The Fertiberia players went for the match from the first minute, despite the absences in their back line of centre-back Fernando Latorre, Nebot and Russian player Chernov, as well as Berrios’s well-known injury. The match was very serious defensively, with an immense Pablo Hernández in goal, saving up to three seven-metre throws. The home team, with its hesitant play, felt powerless throughout against the effectiveness of the Fertiberia players. Although the visitors were ahead on the scoreboard throughout, it was not until the 25th minute that Fertiberia broke the match open with a two-goal lead, following a tremendous lapse by the home team, reaching half-time at 11–13. The visitors’ chances of winning increased at the start of the second half when they established a four-goal lead. The home side tried, but could not find a way through; they became bogged down in attack, so midway through the second half the situation remained unchanged and Fertiberia took the opportunity to pull further clear at 17–22. Fertiberia continued with a tough, deep defence, preventing the Galicians from sustaining their attacks, as they were unable to score. The red-and-whites therefore managed to maintain a five-goal lead at 22–27, with a spectacular Mirko Milasevic and no red-and-white player out of place. In short, Fertiberia secured a victory in a crucial match to achieve mathematical survival. As a result, next season will be its fourth consecutive campaign in Asobal. - BM Cangas Frigoríficos del Morrazo: Santana, Suso Soliño (3, 2 penalties), Serafín Pousada (2), Eijo (1), Feldmann, Cerqueira (2) and Simés —starting team— Kevin García (GK), Adrián Rosales (3), David García (5), Amarelle (3), Pumar (3) and Levente (1). - Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto: Pablo Hernández, Moriñigo (5), Sergio Vallés (2), Milasevic (6, 1 penalty), Iker Serrano (5), Chispi (3) and Javier Tarrasó (1) —starting team— Ángel Fernández (1), David Bruixola (GK), Rubén Ruiz (4), Tello, Carles Lluna, Toni Alegre and Castellá.
