Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto dispatch Cuatro Rayas Valladolid with authority

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto beat Cuatro Rayas Valladolid 30–23, against a team rooted to the bottom of the league and going through a difficult period. Fertiberia took to the court with a winning mentality and dominated the score from the start (3–0), playing at a fast pace. In the opening minutes, the red-and-whites were unstoppable, with the score showing 7–3 in their favour thanks to a tight defence. As the minutes passed, the red-and-whites increased the tempo, controlling the match and extending their lead (12–7) thanks to accuracy in both defence and attack, with goals from Mirko, Tarrasó and Chernov. From the 25th minute onwards, the match had already swung in Vicent Nogués' side's favour, characterised by numerous attacking opportunities, Valladolid's errors in attack and Bruixola's outstanding goalkeeping. As a result, Fertiberia went into half-time with an eight-goal lead (17–9), giving a clear impression of superiority. After the interval, the red-and-white team came out lacking intensity and the visitors closed the gap with a 0–2 run, prompting Vicent Nogués to call a timeout to give his players instructions and change their mindset. From the 15th minute onwards, the red-and-whites returned to their good form and moved seven goals ahead (23–16), thanks to turnovers won by the defence and good finishing on the counter-attack. From the 20th minute onwards, the score was already red-and-white thanks to Bruixola's masterclass between the posts, while the Valladolid side tried to make the scoreline more respectable. Finally, in the closing minutes, the home side led 27–20, thanks to good defensive work that withstood the opponents' attacks and enabled them to secure another victory at the expense of an uncompetitive Cuatro Rayas Valladolid (30–23). First, it is worth highlighting the participation in a friendly match during the interval of the two María Yacosta Ruiz school teams coached by Pocholo and Luís, who were the protagonists for ten minutes. Secondly, the magnificent support that carried the team through. In short, Fertiberia have shown that the Ovni is their territory and that defeats will be very hard to come by there.
