Elordi and Rezusta concluded the first round of Couples this Saturday with an important victory at the Bizkaia fronton. They came from three consecutive defeats and have managed to change the dynamic thanks to the good match played by the Bergara defender against Laso and Aranguren. He held the duel perfectly and scored several key goals that prevented his rivals from tying the match. Elordi has gone from white to black. He has taken perfect advantage of the opportunities he has had in the first half of the contest, but when his rival in the happy teams has come to a boil, doubts have invaded him and he has not been at all comfortable on the field.
The man from Bizkarreta-Gerendiain took the match on his back in the second half and was very aggressive, although he took excessive risks and things did not go his way, a circumstance that has given the Colorados a lot of oxygen. Aranguren has gone from being dominated and cold to more in tune. He has been infected by the improvement of his partner.
The game started in a positive way for Aspe’s team and their dominance paid off. In just 193 shots they have managed to reach the halfway point of the confrontation with an advantage of eight points (11-3). His rivals have suffered before the power of the Gipuzkoan left-hander and the hook of Elordi. But when it seemed that the Colorados had the situation under control, Laso has managed to change the situation. His right is getting cooler. He tested Mallabia’s player and began to break his confidence by moving the ball well and creating spaces for the shot.
The blues have begun to close the gap quickly and have come within a goal after the first mandatory break (12-11). It was then that Rezusta applied himself fully so that they could not reach them, while the Navarrese striker insisted. He took risks, but several shots went wide, allowing the winners to reach the second break four points ahead.
But there was still room to cut because Elordi still did not appear and the blues played their last tricks. They have gone back to within one (19-18), but the man from Mallabia has finally found the inspiration to get the match back on track definitively.
Jaka y Mariezkurrena II
In the second match of the seventh day played at the Labrit in Pamplona, Jaka and Mariezkurrena have confirmed their leadership after beating (14-22) Ezkurdia and Tolosa, who finished the first round with just a couple of points. Those from Baiko have opened a gap from the beginning and have had no problems maintaining it thanks to the punch of the Navarrese defender, who has taken good advantage of his teammate. Aspe’s team played better in the second half of the game because Arbizu’s striker had more of a role, although it was insufficient.
This Sunday (4:30 p.m.) the third duel will be played. Artola and Imaz face Peio Etxeberria, who returns after testing in Leitza and having a good feeling in his hand, and Zabaleta.
