Matchday 29 of the Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL has further heightened the excitement and parity on the court, debuting this season the unified format, condensing the thrill of the fight for survival and the runner-up spot into the Friday night slot. 

Barça has experienced one of the most emblematic moments of the ASOBAL handball season with the championship trophy presentation ceremony on the Palau Blaugrana court, minutes after overcoming Bathco BM. Torrelavega in one of the key duels at the top of the overall standings (36-26).

In that setting, Dicorpebal Logroño La Rioja has secured the runner-up position after defeating Bada Huesca on their court (25-31), who could not avoid the defeat and thus confirmed their relegation to División de Honor Plata.

Cajasol Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil, on the other hand, has taken a giant step towards their goal of maintaining their category after overcoming Tubos Aranda Villa de Aranda (28-27) in a thrilling finish, with a decisive buzzer-beater goal by MVP Nexus Energía Dani Serrano. Javier Márquez’s team, despite the defeat, have mathematically confirmed their status as an ASOBAL team for the next season.

That is the objective of Viveros Herol BM. Nava, who this week laid the foundation by earning two points against HORNEO BM. Alicante (34-32), already safe. Carlos Villagrán’s squad will seek to avoid the position that leads to the 'play-down' and maintain their category through direct qualification.

The same situation applies to Frigoríficos del Morrazo, who this weekend reached 20 points after drawing at the Quijote Arena against BM. Caserío Ciudad Real (28-28). Quique Domínguez’s players will fight for direct survival in front of their fans, in an O Gatañal that promises to be a celebration.

Fraikin BM. Granollers, meanwhile, stormed Artaleku to take the 'Match of the Day' and the second round of the 'Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL Classic.' The match, an example of the talent and equality of professional competition, was decided by a double key action from Marcos Fis, who delivered another outstanding performance. The right back scored the final goal and then made a retreat and a save that prevented a last-minute goal from the Bidasotarras.

REBI Balonmano Cuenca’s victory on the SANICENTRO BM. Guadalajara court (33-34) closed this Friday’s unified matchday, sealing the survival of Lidio Jiménez’s squad.
