Olaizola II and Rezusta fulfilled the predictions and achieved the first point of the quarterfinal group of the Couples Championship by beating Artola and Aranguren in the Remontival of Estella by a clear 22-12. They are placed momentarily seconds after the 11-22 triumph of Altuna III and Mariezkurrena II on Friday at the Astelena in Eibar against Jaka and Martija.
For the first time in an official championship, Aimar and Rezusta joined forces. They had done it before in a summer fair like San Mateo, and all thanks to the transfer of the Bergararra defender from Aspe to Baiko for this competition. They have already posted the poster of candidates for the txapela, but this has only just begun. Of course, they have done it on the right foot.
It is also true that Artola and Aranguren gave them many facilities, especially the defender from Aginaga. Between them they added thirteen errors. Too many gifts before a couple that only fails the right thing. For the initial 6-0, Aranguren had already stopped putting three balls in the front. The alegiarra reacted, taking advantage of the fact that Rezusta seemed to have doubts. He looked for Aimar giving speed to the ball, not to the bergararra.

- Incidents:
match corresponding to the quarterfinal league of the Couples Championship played at the Remontival fronton in Estella behind closed doors.
He had the opportunity to put the 6-6 in the light, but his two volley walls went down. And also to tie at eight. His hook ended up on the countertop boards. From there, Rezusta began to mark territory, to enjoy the power of his left-handed foot, and the game already had an owner. Artola had few options to enter the auction because his defender was completely dominated. He had to create his opportunities himself by taking risks. He had no other choice, always being at a disadvantage. Aranguren took some difficult balls, but did not enjoy any forehand. Aimar, who scored four hook goals, played without pressure despite the cold in the Remontival fronton.
Urrutikoetxea regains his forward position today
Mikel Urrutikoetxea recovers today (ETB1-17.00) at Bizkaia de Bilbao his position as striker in Couples. The Zaratamo player played in the last edition as a defender for Olaizola II and they were left at the gates of the txapelas after losing the longest final in the history of the championship less than a month ago, on the same stage, against Ezkurdia and Martija. In this edition, he paired with Ander Imaz and his rivals in the premiere are Peña II and Albisu. For the tolosarra it means his debut after having participated in the Manomanista and the Cuatro y Medio. The festival is completed with the Promotion match between Elordi and Garmendia against Zabala and Erostarbe.
