Overview
- KH-7 BM Granollers beat Mecalia Atlético Guardés 25-22, handing the visitors their second league defeat of the season.
- Granollers controlled the match from the start, with Cristina Polonio scoring 10 and goalkeeper Marta Mera delivering pivotal saves.
- Guardés lacked playmaker Cecilia Cacheda, who did not travel due to physical complaints, while Nerea Gil remains sidelined following left-knee surgery.
- Rosane Serrano, Elena Martínez, María Sancha and Ari Portillo each scored four for Guardés, and Amandine Balzinc impressed after halftime, yet the hosts kept a three-to-five goal cushion.
- Attention now turns to Saturday’s EHF European Cup round-of-16 first leg at A Sangriña against Italy’s Handball Erice at 19:00, part of an eight-games-in-four-weeks stretch.
