Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto continues on the right path

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto beat BM Cangas Frigoríficos del Morrazo 30–29, against a team that made things difficult and was seeking its first victory away from home. Fertiberia started the match determined to take both points from the outset, with a 2–0 run making its intentions clear. Despite this initial lead, Cangas managed to level the score at 8–8 with the help of goals from its wingers. Nevertheless, from the 20th minute onwards the balance swung in favour of the red-and-whites, who moved 13–9 ahead with lightning-fast positional attacks, ball recoveries and good goalkeeping from Bruixola. The final five minutes were an intense exchange of blows that forced both defences to work to the maximum; a penalty scored by Latorre on the buzzer brought an even first half to a close, with the Valencians leading 16–12. After the interval, the red-and-white team came out onto the court lacking intensity and the visitors closed the gap with a 0–4 run, prompting Vicent Nogués to call a time-out to motivate his players and change their mindset. From the 15th minute onwards, the red-and-whites pulled away again, leading 22–20, as usual constructing their attacks more patiently and scoring without difficulty, but a lack of confidence in their own area led to a partial comeback by the visitors. From the 20th minute onwards, the match was marked by the numerous suspensions suffered by Vicent Nogués’s side, which Cangas took advantage of to maintain parity at 27–27. Finally, the red-and-whites took control of the match and moved two goals ahead, clinging to goals from Chernov and Iker Serrano, to secure two valuable points and move further away from the relegation places. It is worth highlighting, firstly, the participation in a friendly match during the interval of the José Romeu schools team, coached by Jorge, and the Mediterráneo team, coached by Andrés and José Vicente. Both teams were the protagonists of an entertaining ten-minute friendly. Secondly, the magnificent support that carried the team forward deserves mention. In short, Fertiberia continues to show that the Ovni is its territory and that it remains in excellent form, taking two points against a direct rival. The next match will be played on Wednesday 12 at 20:30 against BM Villa de Aranda, in a match corresponding to the 14th round of the Asobal League.
