Barcelona II fell to BM Sinfin in a 35:39 result at the Divisió de Honor Plata on Sunday, 4 October. The visitors claimed all three points after a hard-fought contest that ended with the scoreline settling on their side. Both teams had been building momentum through the opening rounds of the competition.
After three games each, the two sides sat level on four points — winners on two, drawn once, lost none. Barcelona II held seventh place while Sinfin occupied eighth, though the gap between them was negligible. The result shifted the balance slightly, even if the table barely moved.
Barcelona II had shown flashes of consistency lately, winning 38:31 against Contadora Zaragoza and 33:32 versus Amenabar before that narrow loss to Anayatasuna. Sinfin, meanwhile, had produced a solid 28:25 victory over Guadalajara after an earlier defeat to Burgos. Both sides were finding their rhythm, but Sunday's match decided otherwise.
And here's the thing — we had backed the home side with 59 per cent confidence, but the match refused to follow that script. Sinfin found a way to take the lead and then saw the game out when it mattered most. The hosts tightened things up late, but the visitors held firm under pressure.
By then, the momentum had clearly shifted. Barcelona II are now weighing up what went wrong after a result that felt unexpected given their recent form. Sinfin, meanwhile, have one foot further ahead in the standings, even if only by a point. The competition remains wide open.
