Home win to end the handball season | OneFootball

FC Porto’s handball team hosted and defeated AA Águas Santas 42-29 in the sixth and final round of the championship phase. With this result, and following Benfica’s defeat away to Sporting, the Dragons finished the league in second place with 42 points, the result of 20 wins, three draws and five defeats.

The match started evenly, but the home side soon took control of the game and put together a very solid first half, both in attack and defence. Showing good technical quality, Magnus Andersson’s men limited their opponents’ chances and built a comfortable lead before the break (23-15).

In goal, Sebastian Abrahamsson stood out as one of the key players in a team that was also very strong offensively. In attack, the blue and whites were effective from the seven-metre line, with Antonio Martínez converting all six of his attempts and finishing as the first half’s top scorer (6), ahead of Pedro Oliveira (4).

After the break, FC Porto did not let up and stretched the gap to 14 goals thanks to a 9-3 run. The Spanish international continued to lead the attack and produced his best performance of the season, scoring 15 goals and surpassing the 12 he had netted against Benfica in the previous round, making a decisive contribution to the 42-29 victory.
