Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto take two hugely important points at BM Aragón

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto secured an away victory against BM Aragón in a match in which the red-and-whites led throughout, ending with a convincing 28-35 result.

The match began with a blistering display from Fertiberia, who produced a 0-4 run in the opening five minutes. Following Bernatonis’s suspension for the visitors, Aragón moved closer with a 4-0 run. Even so, the red-and-whites maintained their intense defence and attacking accuracy thanks to shots from Corzo and Bernatonis. Aragón reshuffled their lines and managed to close the gap further, but the visitors gave them no respite and remained ahead, going into half-time with a 15-18 scoreline

The second half began in much the same way as the match had started, with Fertiberia strong in defence and accurate in attack. Aragón’s coach therefore called a time-out in the 35th minute to try to close the gap, as the visitors were leading 17-22 at that point. Aragón tried everything, but tonight belonged to Pachi Martí’s side; victory seemed assured after the great effort made throughout the match. A vital win to avoid dropping to last place and move away from the relegation positions
