The penultimate round of the Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL, played simultaneously, delivered intense emotions and last-minute decisions that shaped the final stretch of the competition. The battle for the top spots and the runner-up position once again demonstrated the high level of demand in the Spanish league.

In the most notable clash, Fraikin BM Granollers staged a highly tense match against IRUDEK Bidasoa Irun, confirming their ability to decide games in the final moments. Marcos Fis was the main protagonist, scoring the decisive goal and making a key save by stopping the last shot with an empty goal (31-32). These two points lift the Catalans to third place and, in turn, proclaim Dicorpebal Logroño La Rioja as the runner-up of the professional competition.

The mathematical confirmation of second place came after the match had ended at the Palacio de los Deportes de Huesca. The franjivino team was the positive face of the round, achieving a victory (25-31) that, besides confirming Bada Huesca's relegation, crowned the Riojans as league runners-up and simultaneously secured them a European spot for the next season.

Meanwhile, the league champion, already with the title secured, once again demonstrated their superiority by comfortably defeating Bathco BM. Torrelavega (36-24) and extending the “party mood” at a Palau Blaugrana prepared to receive the Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL trophy from the hands of Servando Revuelta, president of ASOBAL.
