Yesterday, Pasek Belenos missed one of those victories that add luster to a club’s record. The Avilés team put the Santboiana on the ropes, the team that has played the most seasons in the highest category of Spanish rugby, which has won eight times, a club that has helped like few others to take root in the oval sport in Spain, that legends of this sport like Albert Malo came out.
Faced with all of this yesterday was a Belenos that in the first half surprised the Catalan team, which adapted poorly to the playing conditions, with a lot of wind, and which was not very forceful in its tackles, leaving some holes in its defense that the team de Avilés drilled effectively. It is true that in that first half Belenos already showed signs of suffering in the static phases, especially in the scrum, but they knew how to cope and hit at every opportunity.
And the first try was for the Catalan team, from their wing Chambers, who completed a good action by their forward ten minutes into the game (3-7). But from then on the spark of a brave Belenos prevailed, first with a robbery by scrum half Tano Pérez, who went straight to the rehearsal area (10-7), then with a maul formed after a touch kick that landed the heeler Álex Silvestre (17-7), then with a real play after a precise pass with the foot of Dorigón that culminated after several passes the center Jerónimo Pandelo and, to culminate this recital, Fran del Pino took advantage of a mistake to the rival’s hand to put a lead of 22 points in favor of the Avilés team (29-7), which remained at 19 after a shot from the rival (29-10).
But everything changed in the second half and one of the keys was Belenos’ indiscipline in defense, which committed too many penalty shots. The Sant Boi (Barcelona) team’s deep kicks were a burden for Belenos, unable to stop the mauls they formed after the touch kick. Little by little, the Catalan team undermined the Asturian, who received four tries, the last of which was a penalty, losing 32-36 after a second half in which he was only able to convert a penalty shot.
In any case, Belenos gave a good image against a very tough team, one of those that will fight for the first places.
