Laso-Martija 17 ‘Urruti’-Rezusta 22
Bergara’s defender was the best player in a game in which it was difficult for the Biscayan to enter, but he did so in time to beat Laso and Martija
It came out expensive for Urrutikoetxea and Rezusta. After yesterday’s victory at the Santi Brouard fronton in Lekeitio against Laso and Martija, they will play in the CaixaBank Masters play-off. For the Biscayan and the one from Bergara, a victory was enough to be in the next phase. The last of the league. The Navarrese are disqualified from the competition.
The Gipuzkoan bodyguard pulled gallons to carry the weight of the meeting. He was the best of the four. Until the halfway point of the contest he had a nice fight with his rival in the long frames, but from then on he was the owner and lord of his plot. He sustained the clash when they painted coarse and made the difference to put Zaratamo’s man in the game. Urrutikoetxea was quite scattered in the first part. He had trouble taking the distance to the ball and was not fine in the shot. Then he charged better behind and his were the three consecutive goals that put the icing on the match.
The Colorados went from more to less. Laso was quite aggressive and successful until the halfway point, but as his defender lowered his level, he lost prominence and did not have much luck with the risks he took. The winners put the duel on track after the tie at 13
Absence of Altuna III
Jokin Altuna will also not play the Masters match that he had scheduled in Lekeitio on Monday. As Aspe announced yesterday, the slight tear he suffered in the biceps of his right thigh is evolving favorably, “but the doctors consider that his reappearance is still premature.” His position will be occupied by Elezkano II. Together with Imaz he will face Irribarria and Albisu.
