The Zaragoza side are still unable to find a way to earn points, and having zero at this stage is a very worrying sign in their bid to avoid relegation. The positive aspect, despite everything, is that safety is only one point away, meaning a victory would completely change the outlook.

Meanwhile, the Huesca side know nothing but victory and are now sole leaders with 12 points. Their six consecutive wins represent the best run in Nolasco's history, surpassing the five achieved in 2010-11, the year they were promoted to the Asobal.
CONTAZARA LEFT EMPTY-HANDED
The match was closely fought for most of the game, with both teams responding to every move from their opponents. However, the Asturian side went into halftime ahead at 14-10.
The Zaragoza team improved in attack in the second half, but in the closing stages Juan Gamallo, Oviedo's goalkeeper, stepped up to keep his side in the game and proved decisive in ensuring Contazara left Asturias empty-handed.
AN UNSTOPPABLE BADA
Bada Huesca are displaying their full attacking arsenal in these opening rounds, although Zarautz matched the Huesca side well and went into halftime ahead at 16-18. It was a match in which the attacks were highly productive, while the defenses struggled enormously to stop the onslaughts.
But the visiting side ran out of gas as the minutes passed, and the quality of Nolasco's team eventually broke the game open and secured Huesca their sixth win of the season.
