Larrazabal & Mariezkurrena II: Zalla Comeback

Once again they had to suffer, however they reached a successful conclusion. Larrazabal and Mariezkurrena II recovered in time at the Mimetiz fronton in Zalla to achieve their third victory in the Pairs this Friday after beating Zabala and Martija. Berriozar’s defender had a hard time warming up his hands and began the clash with fear because he didn’t have them completely right, but when he managed to do so he expressed his authority. His partner was not fine in the first part of the fight either. Doubts assailed him after making several consecutive mistakes. But the moment his bodyguard began to boil, everything was easier for Olabezar.

Those from Aspe messed up what they could. Especially Zabala, who had a good start to the match and did damage with his aerial game. Martija was in her place and brought security to the combination. However, when they were dominated they could not contain the greatest ambition of the blues.

The man from La Rioja and the man from Etxeberri found themselves 7-2 in favor at the start because their rivals made too many mistakes. Despite everything, they remained hooked on the clash due to some quality sparks and cut the difference to two goals (7-5). But those from Baiko lived on a roller coaster that made things easier for the Logroño and the Navarrese, who reached the first mandatory rest ahead. It is worth highlighting the sotamano on the rebound from box three that Zabala took in the eleventh goal. At this point, the winners had accumulated eleven failures. And they added some more until 15-11, at which point they began the comeback.

Domination behind

By then, Mariezkurrena II had already shown signs of being more comfortable and focused, and Larrazabal was grateful for it. He had better balls to finish the goal and, little by little, he regained confidence, brought out his volley and was successful in stopping the ‘txoko’. They tied the game at 16 and their rivals had to surrender to the evidence. They could not sustain the clash any longer due to the dominance of Berriozar’s defender who sealed the match with his third shot on the rebound.

The second match of the fifth day of Couples will have Atano III in San Sebastián as its venue this Saturday (5:15 p.m.) and Altuna III-Ezkurdia and Artola-Imaz as the protagonists. Both combinations are tied with two victories. Those from Aspe have not been able to carry out their last two games so they need a quick reaction. Their rivals have just won and want to extend their momentum. In Serie B they will play Senar-Ugartemendia against Murua-Gabirondo.
