Trasmapi UD Ibiza HCE is close to epic but says goodbye to the Copa del Rey against Benidorm

With your head held high. This is how Trasmapi UD Ibiza HCE said goodbye to the Copa del Rey after falling this Wednesday by a tight 26-29 with BM Benidorm in the single-match second round tie, played at the sa Blanca Dona sports center before more than 400 spectators. Eugenio Tilves’ men have bordered on epic in a closely contested match, but have ended up being knocked out of the KO tournament by the powerful rival of the Asobal League.

Nikola Jeremic scored the orange team’s first two goals to preserve equality on the scoreboard against Asobal’s powerful rival. A Benidorm that already faced the Ibizans in the 2021 Cup tie and that jumped plugged into sa Blanca Dona to avoid surprises. Exhibiting a great defensive attitude piloted between the sticks by Ibáñez, the Alicante team dried up Trasmapi and soon achieved a notable goal advantage that only Doménech with two good interventions and Javi Bodi with a beautiful Vaseline goal managed to contain (3-7, min. 10) .

The visiting team, which in the League is fighting for the places that give access to Europe, deployed its offensive arsenal with goals of all colors, also showing off its extensive wardrobe. Eugenio Tilves, who already warned in the preview that he would give many minutes to the less common players, thinking about Burgos, where on Sunday the complex fight for permanence in the Silver Honor Division continues, the bench was also carefully shaken by Eugenio Tilves.

The second part of the first episode was marked by several referee decisions that Benidorm took advantage of to extend their discreet lead on the scoreboard (7-12, min. 18). Tilves asked for time and his boys kept their momentum in front of the Alicante wall. The scoreboard remained motionless for four long minutes, until Robledo took advantage of a robbery and counterattack to expand the visiting cushion to six goals. However, a quick reaction from the island team reduced the gap to five minutes before halftime and Benidorm asked for time to stop the local rebellion (10-14). The balance was maintained until the break and the second period started with 11-16 on the scoreboard.

The defensive level of both squads declined a little after passing through the locker room and Trasmapi showed great effectiveness, achieving a run of 9-6 in 10 minutes to be two goals behind Benidorm (20-22). The fans celebrated the visiting coach’s ‘break’ with enormous enthusiasm. Jeremic extended the orange party with a superb goal that made it 21-22 on the stroke of quarter of an hour. ‘Yes, we can,’ chanted the crowd. However, in the blink of an eye, Benidorm took advantage of several precipitations to open the gap again, including an incredible goal from Barceló’s back (21-25). The oranges remained fully involved in the tie and bordered on epic in a beautiful ending, but it was not to be. Two severe ankle sprains by Prada and Marc Torres in this section were the worst news for the Ibizans in a match that ended 26-29.
