Fertiberia have a day to forget in Huesca

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto lose 33–22 in a match that was doomed to defeat after a 7–0 start in which Toni Malla’s side went almost 10 minutes without scoring. Their next match will once again be away, specifically against BM Ciudad Encantada Cuenca.

They started against a Huesca side that made the better start to the match. The red-and-whites could not find the net, not even from seven metres; they missed as many as four seven-metre throws, which Parera laid on a plate for the red-and-white team. It was not until the ninth minute that Fertiberia scored their first goal, through Poveda, while Huesca had already scored seven. Ending a drought of almost 10 minutes before half-time seemed impossible; Malla’s side tried with saves from Luka and greater accuracy in attack, but it was not enough, and they went into half-time unable to reduce the deficit by much (16–9).

After the break, Fertiberia did not start particularly well either, scoring only twice in six minutes. Bada Huesca’s defence was better and Fertiberia did not seem capable of overturning the hosts’ substantial lead, so much so that they fell eleven behind.
