Los galipos made a heroic comeback against Otxartabe to now be four points from the play-off positions

The Biscayan derby in the Second B futsal could not have had a better outcome for Zierbena. It was a duel where Otxartabe was the absolute favourite, both in terms of squad and dynamics, since they did not lose in all of 2022. They were, without a doubt, the fittest team in the category. In addition, this duel was played at home, so the triumph of the galipos was in very few pools. However, the illusion of winning this event outweighed the rest of the factors and they ended up signing a heroic comeback that brought them closer to the play-off.

The first half was not at all encouraging from Zierbena. The people from Bilbao scored three goals in a row and only made up the result with a bit of strategy at the end to go 3-1 at halftime. “It seemed that we had stayed in the locker room in the first part, it was totally for them,” acknowledges Iñigo Herrán. However, “in the second we take off our complexes and enjoy playing,” he says. They even conceded 4-1, but managed to level the balance to tie at four. It was then, when with only twenty seconds to go, they scored the winning goal so that madness broke out on the visiting side.

This result is a real blow on the table for the galipos, who once again dream of the possibility of sneaking into the play-offs. They have placed themselves four points behind Otxartabe, who is the one who marks the line of those positions that suppose the classification to the promotion phase and also the participation in the Copa del Rey next year. “The objective was to save the descent as it were, but thanks to the team’s hard work we are there and we will push the top teams until the end of the season,” highlights the coach. “Whether it is achieved or not, the season is exceptional, this is an extra,” he expands. Iñigo Herrán believes that the biggest prize would be to compete in the Copa del Rey, for the possibility of playing against a First or Second team in the second round.
