Urrutikoetxea and Irribarria accuse their lack of shooting before Artola and Rezusta

Urrutikoetxea and Irribarria need matches. The long halt of the ball and the change of positions has been too abrupt and its lack of shooting is evident. The one from Zaratamo had not played as a striker for seven months, while for his partner it was the fourth game in the long tables since he debuted in 2015, so he needs to take the distances to the ball. Given this situation, the victory of Artola and Rezusta in the Bizkaia pediment was not surprising Because both were much more intertwined and knew how to get the most out of their weapons.

And that the Alegia striker suffered a small scare in the abductor in the warm-up that made him enter the locker room and generated some doubts in the first goals. There was expectation to see the colorados in action for the first time and it increased as soon as it started because Irribarria hit a left-footed shot in his first ball that went to die on the wall at the height of frame nine.

The Arama left some interesting details because his qualities allow him to pull shots that are not customary to see behind as the botivolea with which he solves complicated situations, but standing still he needs more precision to place the ball. He looked well for height, especially with his left footBut you made too many mistakes to rush or mis-measure the pot.

Urrutikoetxea did not have a good day either. It cost him too much to finish the goal, a consequence of his absence in the pictures of truth for a long time. He did not open angles with the hook, and his volley was not as effective as on other occasions.. He helped his partner with the air game, but it was not fine.

His knowledge of being on the field allowed the Coloradons to endure the first arreón of the blues, who were the ones who set the pace for the clash and showed greater consistency from the early stages. Artola took off his fear as his muscle warmed up and he was more loose in his plot. If it weren’t at odds with the sheet metal, which he hit up to four times, his numbers would have been brilliant. But despite everything he had clear ideas. Rezusta was the one who sent the match. He pulled the regularity he used to squeeze his left foot and put the ball behind in order to open holes for his partner and he did it.

After the tie to four

It was after the draw to four when those who wore blue managed to open a gap that gave them the peace of mind necessary to manage the rest of the contest. Although some mistakes allowed the colorados to get close to something in the bright before they reached the equator of the game (7-10), the moment they stabilized again, everything was easier for them.

Urrutikoetxea and Irribarria sinned of instability and they failed to chain more than a three-point streak that did little good eitherBecause, as the minutes passed, his failures increasingly weighed on his mood. After 11-14, Artola and Rezusta saw everything much clearer. It was enough for them to maintain solidity to open the final gap and secure the first point in the Masters Caixabank. The Biscayan forward and the Arama defender need more time to recognize each other on the court.
