Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto earn a point in Aranda

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto suffer until the end in a very evenly matched game. The match began with a very even first half thanks to the tight defences. In the first 15 minutes, the home team took advantage of indecision and the visitors’ poor shooting to build a two-goal lead, as the visitors went 5 minutes without scoring due to their lack of accuracy, prompting Milos, the red-and-white coach, to call his first time-out. He decided to change the defence to a 5:1, which helped his team turn the score around and take the lead with 5 minutes remaining before half-time. Even so, the match remained very even despite the home side’s turnovers, which the visitors failed to exploit to pull away. The teams went into the break level at 9-9. The red-and-whites “backed and encouraged by members of Marea Rojiblanca who had travelled to Aranda” put on their work suits after the restart to try to pull away in the match, tightening the defence and working well in the central area while giving Villa de Aranda no opportunities. The game continued to be very even, with neither side dominating on court. The visiting team were running out of ideas in attack, and Aranda took advantage in an attempt to create a gap on the scoreboard. The Puerto side were caught by surprise as the Aranda players tightened their lines to impose their game, although they did not pull significantly clear. The match reached its conclusion just as evenly as the first half. With 14 seconds remaining, the score was tied at 24-24. The home coach called a time-out to prepare what would be the final move of the match. Play resumed and they had one last shot to take the lead and win the game, but the effort was stopped by an outstanding Bruixola in the final second, securing the final 24-24 draw.
