Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto beat Go Fit 38–35 in the final match of the season. Fertiberia wanted to give the fans, who contribute so much, a final victory of the campaign and succeeded, but first had to overcome the natural inertia of a match with little at stake and players mentally seeking their well-deserved restBut in this type of match, there are always players who pull the team along to wake the others up. In that regard, Cuban Guillermo Corzo and captain Rubén Ruiz do not understand matches without intensity. They were responsible for keeping their teammates going for almost the first 45 minutes. During the first half, both teams’ defences were losing their individual battles, which in the Milos era is news for the Valencians. The 19–19 half-time score already showed the defensive relaxation; there were not even any suspensions—just one for the Cantabrians throughout the first half. The red-and-white scoring was led by the Corzo–Rubén duo, while the Santander side had more players sharing the goals. In the second half, things followed the same course, but Alex Álvarez, in his farewell appearance, gave his own masterclass, bringing the pivot Lon, the wingers and anyone who wanted to dance to his tune into play. The Santander side therefore opened up a three-goal lead with a quarter of an hour remaining, and Milos called a timeout. After the break, the tempo increased, Bruixola was Bruixola, and the red-and-whites produced a 13–8 run in the final quarter that left the points in the lap of the fans recently named Spain’s Best Supporters by the Spanish Federation. This award, together with Mecalia Atlético Guardés’ women’s award, recognises an always loyal fan base. With this victory and the results on the other courts, Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto made a significant leap up the table. Defeats for Guadalajara, Huesca and Ciudad Encantada, who were ahead of them, combined with the Valencian victory to leave a three-way tie on 22 points with Huesca and Cuenca, allowing them to finish ninth in the table. An excellent record, the result of the second half of the season achieved by Nikola Milos’s men Match details Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto: Ibrahim, Chueca and Bruixola.
