Eón stays alive and pressing for a rise in Asobal after a hard-fought win against El Cisne. Luis Parro’s squad solidifies its chances, especially after Puerto Sagunto’s defeat—just one point ahead in the standings with two rounds left. A direct promotion spot is challenging but not off the table, particularly with the Swan victory in hand.
The Alicante team delivered a standout performance in front of a packed crowd, lifting the squad with momentum from the bench and driving the pace throughout the match. The Marists Pavilion provided the perfect backdrop for a night of high-energy play, something Eón has cultivated since relocating training sessions to Pitiu Rochel.
David Jiménez dazzled from start to finish, contributing ten goals and wiring energy through every attack. A single point is enough to secure promotion to Asobal, yet Eón remains focused on maintaining its target average and capitalizing on a favorable remaining calendar for the Alicante club.
Equality marked the early stages as Parro pressed high on defense, unsettling the Galician side. Eón entered the first half with a lead of four and five goals at various moments, but El Cisne rallied to level the score late and called a tight timeout at 20-19.
“Eón wants to experience a great atmosphere again in front of the leader”
“A resilient start and a relentless finish defined this clash”, reflected the match report.
The second half began with the Alicante squad pushing hard. A collective surge, powered by Sergio Martínez and the attacking presence of Novais, created meaningful gaps. El Cisne grew tense as time dwindled and the Galician coach exhausted his timeouts. With a mindset aimed at securing the result while minimizing risk, Eón extended its lead and sparked a surge of energy that carried the stadium to its feet.
Asobal’s dream remains alive with two rounds to go. The victory carries extra weight, especially since Juande Linares could not be relied upon to influence the outcome. The path remains clear and strong for Eón Alicante.
