Both teams came out with great intensity, aware that they would be competing for survival this season. But in this exchange of blows, the red-clad side benefited from a volley by Célio Coque that opened the scoring in the 12th minute. Shortly afterward, Marc Torlà equalized, bringing the score back level. The teams went into halftime at 1-1, but neither had eased off the pace, showing that a draw was not enough for either side.
JACKSON SAVES WANAPIX
The second half began with Catgas stepping up, and the home side managed to play several minutes closer to the Aragonese area. That was when Jackson emerged to keep his team level. The Brazilian goalkeeper produced a series of outstanding saves to deny every attempt from the Catalan side.
Jorge Palos' team weathered the storm and even had chances to win the match. But the points were shared on the Catalan court, a draw that allows the Aragonese side to continue growing as it seeks to secure survival, although its first win remains elusive.
