Alicante faced Trampati UB Ibiza HC Eivissa in a match where the home team dominated from the opening whistle, earning league points once again as they controlled much of the play and kept the scoreboard ticking in their favor.
From the early minutes, the match was tightly balanced, with neither side seizing clear command. Yet EÓN Horneo Alicante gradually found its rhythm, propelled by the sharp attacking threat of Matheus de Novais and the steady finishing of David Jimenez. Their combined efforts pushed the team forward, carving out opportunities and forcing Ibizan defenders into a reactive stance. As the first half unfolded, Alicante began to assert itself, breaking the deadlock with purpose and clarity that hinted at the momentum to come.
With ten minutes remaining in the period, Alicante had moved into a comfortable position, climbing to fifth place on the table thanks to a sequence of effective plays and disciplined defense. The Ibizans, determined to swing the pendulum back in their direction, pressed higher up the court and looked to seize control before the break. Yet a moment of misfortune at the edge of halftime—Oriol’s dismissal—shook the rhythm and created a tense pause for the locals as they headed to the locker room with one player down.
Returning to action after the break, EON Alicante adjusted to the numerical disadvantage by maintaining intensity, using their structure to stay in front and exploit any second chances. The squad’s defense tightened, stifling the Ibizan offense and limiting scoring chances in the opening stages of the second half. It was a deliberate, measured effort that paid dividends as the visitors found themselves repeatedly stifled at the source, unable to convert opportunities into goals.
As the minutes passed, the Alicante side demonstrated composure and intent, turning each turnover from the home team into a strategic advantage. The balance of play shifted in their favor, with Fernando Latorre’s tactical plan paying dividends as his players managed to keep the scoreline in their favor without flinching. Even when Alberto González was sent off, EÓN Alicante showed resilience, shifting gears to absorb the pressure and maintain control of the match from start to finish.
