Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto claim their seventh consecutive victory in Córdoba

❤️🤍
Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto beat Cajasur Córdoba 28–29 in a match in which they knew how to suffer and were the better side in the second half. A goal almost on the final buzzer gave Toni Malla’s side victory, strengthening their hold on second place in the table. If they win on Saturday at the Ovni against Barça B, they will move into first place in their group in this first phase of the competition.

The match began with the home side taking to the court determined to keep both points at home. The red and whites, who had nothing at stake in this match, started more slowly, allowing the Córdoba side to move ahead on the scoreboard. After a time-out, Toni Malla’s side reduced the deficit and went into half-time 19–20 down.

After the interval, the red and whites started the second half better, and Dani Martínez’s saves helped them turn the score around, although they could not quite put the match to bed. This led to a nail-biting finish at the Fátima sports hall, in which either side could have won. In the final minute, Córdoba levelled the match, but while they were celebrating the equaliser and almost on the final buzzer, Sedano spotted the empty goal and secured both points for the red and whites.
