Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto return to winning ways

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto beat Quabit BM Guadalajara 29–23, against direct rivals in the fight to avoid relegation, with the red and whites proving unstoppable. The match began with the team fully switched on and highly effective with their shooting. Goals from Iker Serrano and Chernov saw them move 3–2 ahead in the first five minutes. Fertiberia took the initiative from the outset, thanks to their attacking accuracy and the errors committed by the Alcarrian side. From the 15th minute, the score was 7–7, reflecting the equality on court, the red and whites’ numerical disadvantage due to suspensions, and Quabit’s good attacking play. From that point, the red and whites reacted following a timeout called by Vicent Nogués, and the team’s momentum changed positively, allowing them to go into half-time one goal ahead at 13–12. After the break, the red and white team increased the pace to build a greater lead and control the match better. The home side’s strong defence and Quabit’s problems in their combination play proved decisive in keeping the two points in Valencia. From the 20th minute, the match settled into a good rhythm thanks to resolute defensive work and Bruixola’s saves. Finally, Vicent Nogués’s side returned to winning ways (29–23) after overcoming a team short of ideas. The excellent atmosphere in the Ovni stands and the strong home debut of new signing Mirko Milasevic deserve special mention. In short, Fertiberia made the most of home advantage and secured another two vital points before the league break. The next match will be played on Saturday 10 November in Pamplona against Helvetia Anaitasuna, another of the so-called “teams from our league”.   Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto: Bruixola, Samuel, Pablo, Iker Serrano (6), Mateu Castellà, Ruiz (2), Moriñigo (2), Tarrasó, Mirko, Berrios (2), Chernov (4), Toni Alegre, Nebot, A.
