“He’s going for you, Raulito,” Dario told his brother Asier through tears when they hugged each other after beating Ezkurdia 10-22 and putting a foot and a half in the Manomanista semifinals. The man from La Rioja lost a great friend on Wednesday, a staunch hitter like him, and paid him the best of tributes. The banner made by Raúl Alesanco himself proudly displayed the La Rioja flag with a message that the pelaire took to the extreme. “Egurre, Dario.”
In Ogueta, with many residents and fans of Ezcaray, another flag was also displayed with a message of hope. “La Rioja dreams of a successor to Barberito I”, the only La Rioja winner of the Manomanista (1953). He is not the favorite, but Dario is already a reality. He is with spark and self-confidence. If Peio Etxeberria beats Jaka this afternoon, Darío will be a semifinalist in a mathematical way even without playing on the third day.

A very good start at the Ogueta in Vitoria with 1,088 spectators. The day of the ball was celebrated with the presence of many children.
The occasion did not scare the man from La Rioja. Not much less. He entered the game phenomenally. He attacked every airball although he also dealt damage the way he knows best, dribbling and hitting hard. With five more days off, Ezkurdia also found better physical sensations in the early stages, although he had to run back so much to respond to the shovels from La Rioja that he ended up paying for the effort. Not being able to prepare for a competition like this has its consequences.
However, the fact that Dario responded so well with his hook and managed to finish off could only mean that he was incredibly confident. Darío arrived with an advantage at the first mandatory break (7-12) and Ezkurdia ended up getting unhinged at 6-9. A drop shot to the txoko from the Arbizuarra player taken to the second boat by Darío ended with a save that hit the plate. Ezkurdia’s look at the judge scared anyone. Unknowingly, he began to condemn him so much. Darío did not slow down while Ezkurdia was unable to continue the exchange of blows. The two walls have a license plate with a Darío effect. The machada done, tears were shed. Raúl was missing from Ogueta. Goian bego.
Jaka and Peio look for a point that fully puts them in the fight
Jaka and Peio Etxeberria are fighting this afternoon for a vital point at the Labrit in Pamplona (5:15 pm). The two losers of group B play “a game for life or death”, as described by lizartzarra in the choice of equipment. The one who adds the point would play it in the third and last day while the loser would be practically eliminated. Peio Etxeberria has the previous and the round of 16 match in his legs, so he could blame the effort. Jaka, if he loses, he would be out of options to be in the top four.
