Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto continue their good run
Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto beat Frigorificos Morrazo Cangas 27-23 at the start of the second half of the season.   Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto want to secure their place in the Liga Loterias Asobal as soon as possible, and they are applying themselves well to achieve it. Today they saw off a Cangas side that wanted to escape the abyss at the Ovni, but this season that is a difficult task. The match began evenly, with the defences on top and the expected inaccuracies in ball circulation, which suffers so much after a break such as the one the league has to endure year after year. Fertiberia also started with two right-handers, with Spiljak filling in on the right for Pacheco and putting in a great performance. For Cangas, the right back was also a headache, because Potic was not responding, and only the customary good work of the outstanding centre back David Garcia sustained the Cangas attack. By half-time, the Valencians had already built an advantage that seemed difficult for a Cangas side suffering the usual problems of teams in the relegation zone. It was 14-11 at the break, with the Valencians clearly in the stronger position. And so it proved: the second half began lethally, with Inestrosa and Ruben Ruiz masterfully directing Fertiberia to a 20-14 lead. By then, Cangas's strength had waned, and only Soliño and Muratovic's mastery were adding support to Garcia. Their flashes of brilliance and the quality of pivot Cerqueira prevented a repeat of the first-round thrashing, but Milos rotated more than ever and everyone, including debutants Sifre and Nebot—who had an excellent match—played useful minutes, continuing to advance the mechanisms of this solid team into which Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto has developed under veteran Croatian Nikola Milos.
