Fertiberia remain top after winning in Burgos

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto beat Balonmano Burgos 26-29 in a match they dominated from start to finish, keeping them top of the table after securing promotion to the Asobal league the previous matchday. The Puerto side are first with 22 points, 3 more than Nava, the second-placed team, who secured promotion to Asobal this matchday. They are also unbeaten in this second part of the competition and have lost only one match during the season (against Ibiza) and drawn two (against Barça B and Alicante). Therefore, if the Valencians beat Novás next Saturday, they will be crowned league champions. It is worth highlighting the presence of almost a hundred supporters, who made Puerto feel as though they were playing at home. 

The match began evenly, but thanks to the saves by Ignasi Admella (more than 15), Toni Malla's side moved ahead on the scoreboard. Ibrahim also began making saves and curtailed the red-and-white attack, but before half-time the home side's mistakes meant the teams went into the dressing rooms with the score at 12-16.

After half-time, Burgos tried to draw level with greater accuracy in attack and reached the final minutes of the match with the score very close, but in the end Toni Malla's side demonstrated their superiority.
