Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto beat BM Ciudad Encantada and move out of the relegation places

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto secured their first two points of the second half of the season by beating BM Ciudad Encantada (24-25) at El Sargal. The victory means that the red-and-whites move out of second-bottom place in the Liga Bauhaus Asobal.

The match began very evenly, with both teams determined to take the two points. From the 12th minute, following a suspension for Sladic, the home side took advantage of the situation and managed to establish a two-goal lead. Once Ilija returned to the court, the red-and-whites turned the score around and went into half-time with a 14-15 lead.

The red-and-whites could not have made a better start to the second half of the season. Corzo, Alegre and Sladic’s accuracy in attack, together with Bruixola’s saves, saw Nikola Milos’s side take their biggest lead of the match in the 19th minute, six goals ahead of the home team. However, from the 21st minute onwards, the home side began to reduce the deficit, taking advantage of the Valencians’ attacking difficulties, which made for a tight finish. The match ended with a victory for the red-and-whites (24-25).

The next match will take place next Saturday, 13 February, from 18:30, at the Pabellón Municipal Internúcleos (Ovni). It will be another crucial match, as the red-and-whites face Ángel Ximenez Puente Genil, who move into second-bottom place in the league after drawing with BM Granollers.
