On Sunday, Trasmapi Gobycar UD Ibiza HCE could not beat CB Alcobendas and fell by 25-20 in the seventh round of the Silver Honor Division. The Ibizans have not started in the best way their way this season in the División Honor Plata and were looking for a victory at home. However, they found themselves up against a very strong rival, who confronted them from the beginning. The start was complicated for the Ibizans. The early exclusion of Peinado, before the first minute, left the locals at a disadvantage. Taking advantage of the mismatch, Alcobendas opened the scoreboard with an initial 0-3, setting the pace of the match. Ramón Fuentes, goalkeeper of the Madrid team, emerged as a key figure from the start with spectacular saves that made the local attack desperate. Peinado was again excluded in the 10th minute, reflecting Trasmapi’s difficulties to stop the rival pivots. In addition, the Portuguese Teixeira received a red card after a foul, leaving the Ibizans emotionally touched. Alcobendas knew how to capitalize on every mistake and reached halftime with a convincing 7-12. At the start of the second half, coach Eugenio Tilves made some changes to try to turn the situation around. The entrance of Ismael Ruiz gave a new air to the team, which started with a 2-0 partial, waking up the audience. However, despite the effort and coming within a goal in the first minutes of the second act, Alcobendas kept their nerve. The connection between Velasco and López Boyerizo proved unstoppable for the locals, who were unable to stop the visiting offense at key moments. With the score 18-21 with six minutes to go, Tilves called a time-out in search of a final reaction, but BM Alcobendas proved insurmountable. Es Pratet, although encouraged by the partial comeback, ended in silence as Fuentes, from his goal, scored the last goal of the game, sealing the Ibizan defeat.
