  "account": "Mare Nostrum Torrevieja have maintained their perfect away record in the Primera Nacional, securing a 26-24 victory over Fibritel Balonmano Villafranca on Saturday. The fifth-round fixture saw Torrevieja travel to Villafranca de los Caballeros, where they faced a team still without points for the season. Having already won in Murcia and Algemesí, Coach Aarón Álvarez's side aimed to utilize their greater strength and depth to wear down their opponents. Mare Nostrum began strong, using quick counterattacks and a solid defense to secure the opening goals and early advantages. They maintained their lead throughout the first half, with Villafranca showing signs of fatigue towards the end. Torrevieja took a 16-11 lead at halftime and extended it to five goals by the end of the first half. The second half remained closely contested but ultimately Villafranca could only equalize with 90 seconds left, forcing Mare Nostrum to a dramatic win. The result leaves Mare Nostrum seventh in the table with six points from five matches, all of their victories this season coming away from home.
