Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto cannot overcome Naturhouse La Rioja either

They could do nothing against a European opponent who arrived at the Ovni having learned its lesson and offered no opportunities, especially in the closing stages of the first half and throughout the second. Mindegia, Paván and Da Costa formed a high-quality back line that comfortably outperformed the red-and-white display, in which once again only Serrano showed fluency in scoring, with eight goals. The first quarter was evenly matched through determination and spirit, with a very congested attack that missed Latorre's direction far too much. However, after Fertiberia's 10–9 lead, a poor end to the half ended many of their chances, as they went into the break 10–15 down. In the second half, nothing changed, and not even Bruixola's saves gave Fertiberia any chance. They will have to start picking up points once this stretch against the league's best teams is over.
