Nava, victory in 'The Match of the Day' and equality in the Plenitude League.

Herol BM. Nava Nurseries has taken the 'Match of the Day' of this last Matchday 18 of the Plenitude League, imposing themselves on the buzzer against ABANCA Ademar León (31-30). The Nava team made their competitive ability count to take two points that catapult them to the 10th position, placing them two from the 5th and just one, precisely, from the Leonese, who had their chances of victory after coming back from a difference of 4 goals against during the second half of the match. This clash was the final blow to a great weekend of ASOBAL handball, with two wins on the visiting field, by Barça and Bidasoa Irun, who continue to lead the standings, and two draws between Helvetia Anaitasuna, Blendio Sinfín, Fraikin BM. Granollers and REBI Handball Cuenca.

The reigning champions took the victory from the Bathco BM. Torrelavega court (27-36), led by Dika Mem and Emil Nielsen under the sticks (55% effectiveness in rival throws). For their part, Bidasoa scored the head-to-head duel between teams from the upper part of the table against Recoletas At. Valladolid (33-35). Álvaro Martínez and his 9 goals scored could not counteract the wealth of yellow variants, with Asier Nieto and Iñaki Cavero as the most outstanding players (13 goals between the two), maintaining the upward dynamic after falling weeks ago at the Palau Blaugrana.

This is not the case for Granollers, who stopped a streak of two consecutive wins, and added a point against Cuenca (29-29), with the Pere Arnau-Antonio García tandem (13 goals) taking on the offensive ranks. Those of Lidio Jiménez continue to fight to definitively leave behind the dangerous area of the standings. Same result in Pamplona, with Anaitasuna and Sinfín sharing the points (27-27), fulfilling the most primary objective of not falling behind in the first stretch of the classification, on the one hand, and continue to grow to opt for permanence in the Plentiude League, in the case of the Santanderians. The victories of Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil against Bada Huesca (43-32), that of TM Benidorm against Frigoríficos del Morrazo (27-36) and that of BM. Logroño La Rioja at home against Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto closed the set of results.
