Fertiberia fly at the Ovni and beat Granollers

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto beat a strong Fraikin Granollers side 28–25 in a match in which Bruixola was superb in goal, especially in the second half, leaving the visitors with no options. A fantastic match in which Fertiberia soared at the Ovni.

The match was no easy task for the red-and-whites. They faced an opponent who had not started the season well but was expected to challenge near the top of the table. The first ten minutes saw an exchange of goals. The teams were evenly matched until Pol Satre began stopping the red-and-whites’ attacks. Bruixola’s response in the opposite goal was swift, and Nogués’ side gradually reduced the deficit before going into half-time with the scoreboard reading 14–16.

After the break, Nogués’ side came out determined not to drop any points at home and moved within one goal of their opponents in the opening minutes. They soon turned the score around, and the Granollers side could do no more because they found Bruixola’s goal firmly shut, while Corzo, Mirallave, Jaka, Pozzer and Leo shone in attack. It was a match in which the fans at a packed Ovni carried the team forward.

The next match will be away to Guadalajara on Wednesday at 20:30, the final match of the first half of the Asobal League season.
