Considering the standings in the Spanish League, the derby of the quarterfinals was an encounter between Barceloneta and Terrassa. However, this match wasn’t very exciting. Barceloneta beat Terrassa – 13:6

The host and the league-leader Sabadell recorded a 7-goal win as well as Barceloneta, defeating Tenerife (12:5)

The other two quarterfinals were exciting. Barcelona secured a 12:10 win over Mediterrani after a big battle.
Mataro beat Sant Andreu (12:10). In the middle of the fourth quarter, the sides were tied at 10:10. Mataro scored the last two goals in the match and earned a semifinal berth.

Terrassa: Delgado 2, De Lera 2, Flores 1, Wilson 1.

A balanced defensive battle in the first quarter indicated that the duel between Barceloneta and Terrassa would be exciting. There were no goals until the 6th minute when Barceloneta’s center-forward Roger Tahull opened the scoring. However, Adria Delgado equalized immediately. But Barceloneta dominated in the second quarter. The reigning champion scored three goals in a row (Pavillard and Perrone 2) – 4:1. De Lera broke Barceloneta’s series (2:4), but not for long. Until the end of the first half, Barceloneta water polo players produced a 3:0 series and jumped to a 7:2 lead. In the second half, they increased the margin to seven.

Mediterrani: Estevez 2, Radic 2, A.Garcia 2, Prat 1, Corres 1, McQuet 1, Zaan 1.
Barcelona: Valls 3, G.Garcia 3, Ramon 2, Frigola 1, Cupido 1, Goma 1, Mallarach 1.

The match Sant Andreu – Mataro produced the same score as the encounter between Barcelona and Mediterrani. The winner was decided in the final minutes. However, the storyline was different.
