Third-placed Sabadell was too strong for Navarra, the only team that hasn’t achieved a win yet. This game was Sabadell’s final rehearsal before the LEN Euro Cup semifinals against Barcelona on Wednesday.
Terrassa visited the Canary Islands to play against Tenerife. The visitors started slowly. Tenerife earned an early 1:0 lead. Terrassa got on the scoreboard only three seconds before the first break. But, led by Victor Flores Fernandez, Terrassa scored four unanswered goals in the second period and went to 5:1, which was crucial for an outcome (7:4).
Rubi defeated Real Canoe quite convincingly. The Madrid-based side kept with Rubi until the middle of the third period. It stood 5:6 in the 20th minute. But, Rubi produced a 5:1 series in the remaining time for an 11:6 victory. Uros Vasic was the best scorer with five goals. He netted four of Rubi’s five goals in the second half.
There were a lot of twists and turns in the encounter between Mataro and Sant Andreu. In the 24th minute, Mataro had a 7:6 advantage. Sant Andreu’s Bofill equalized from a penalty shot (7:7) 13 seconds before the last break. The visitors opened the final quarter with three goals and earned a safe 10:7 lead.
