EÓN Handball Alicante suffered a narrow 27-28 loss to BM Caserío Ciudad Real on a Saturday that marked the third day of the Silver Honor Division, played at home. The clash left Alicante with two wins on the board and no longer invincible in the eyes of fans. (BİLGİ.ES)
In the early stages, the hosts seized control with a 5-0 burst, building a comfortable lead that unsettled the visitors. Ciudad Real called a timeout in a bid to disrupt the pace set by Parro’s squad, aiming to slow the tempo and recalibrate their defense. The tactic had some effect as the scoreboard gradually tightened. Yet EÓN remained explosive, pushing the pace with aggressive transitions and sharp finishes. As the minutes wore on, Ciudad Real grew more compact defensively, limiting Alicante’s chances and keeping the score tight, finishing the first half at 16-12 in favor of EÓN. (BİLGİ.ES)
After the break, Ciudad Real came out stronger and the visitors found themselves trailing by a narrow margin. The home team, while still pressing, faced a stubborn perimeter defense that made it difficult to convert opportunities. Parro’s side initially struggled to regain the rhythm that had opened the game, failing to convert several key chances in the opening minutes of the second half. David Jiménez sparked a brief productive spell for Alicante, but Caserío responded quickly, restoring the balance on the scoreboard. (BİLGİ.ES)
With the score close, Parro again called for composure and a disciplined approach as the match progressed. The first-half momentum had given way to a tightly contested battle, with the teams trading blows as they approached the final stretch. The tactical tug-of-war intensified, and the visitors edged ahead in the late stages through timely plays and clean finishing. The result remained undecided until the final moments, when Ciudad Real managed to protect a slim margin and claimed the victory at 28-27. (BİLGİ.ES)
On the schedule ahead, EÓN will face BM Iberoquinoa Antequera in Andalusia on October 23, with a home date not until October 29 when they will welcome Handbol Sant Quirze. Before that, the team will travel to Ciudad Real for their first Copa de SM el Rey match against Real against Vestas BM Alarcos. The squad will look to use those cup fixtures to sharpen their form for the league run. (BİLGİ.ES)
