Only two games have been played in the Spanish League this weekend.
One match deserves special attention. Navarra hosted Tenerife in Pamplona. The spectators saw only five goals, which is very rare in modern water polo. Someone would think that it had been a football (soccer) match. Tenerife won 3:2.
Sabadell defeated Catalunya. Three games have been rescheduled, while two have been postponed until further notice.
