The Spanish CL teams prepare with victories in the Asobal League, only Ademar Leon had to suffer.
Ademar lose point in Spain
Asobal League has a surprise for every week. Ademar lost a point on Saturday in Logroño and paid for being tired after victories against Ciudad Real and Kadetten.
This draw opens a new gap in the table between Ciudad Real and the other teams. Barcelona, Portland and Ciudad Real won their weekend games without problems and they can prepare with good spirit for the CL.
Jordi Ribera’s team began their match really well but they ran out of ideas and their defence stopped to function with the passing of time. The Spanish playmaker, Sarmiento, took control of the game and Garralda scored. Ademar were up in the score during all the first half and for some minutes of the second. However, Logroño believed in the victory and they were able to recover the Ademar difference.
Two players on loan from Ciudad Real, Belaustegi and Fis, were the leaders of this modest team and saved a very important point in the race to avoid relegation. In fact, Logroño had the last ball to win the match, but Fis was not accurate and Ademar held on to the draw. The top of Spanish table is really close. Ciudad Real are the leaders, Barcelona second, while Portland, Leon and CAI are fighting for the third place.
Barcelona, Portland and Ciudad Real won their games without problems. Barcelona won against Octavio. The team of Cadenas won easily against a team that took a point last week against Portland.
Portland have many problems right now, while Ciudad Real stay on top after beating Antequera at home after a difficult first half.
