Jokin Altuna and Beñat Rezusta have reversed their compromised situation in group B of the San Fermín Tournament thanks to the 14-22 victory obtained against Joseba Ezkurdia and José Javier Zabaleta in the demanding match this Monday night at the Labrit in Pamplona . The result partly compensates for his defeat last Saturday against Erik Jaka and Aitor Aranguren by 22-18.
The clash on Wednesday night between Ezkurdia-Zabaleta and Jaka-Aranguren remains in this group, vital for the classification. The accounts are clear. Jaka and Aranguren need victory to be present in the final on Friday. A defeat with a high score is not worth it. Altuna III and Rezusta, who have already played their two matches, will achieve their objective if Ezkurdia and Zabaleta defeat Lizartza’s and Aginaga’s with any result between 22-21 and 22-10. The one from Arbizu and the one from Etxarren are the ones who have it the most difficult, since it only serves them to win 22-9 or with a greater difference.
After their weak appearance last Saturday, Altuna III and Rezusta recovered their identity as a couple in a physically tough match played under infernal heat that took its toll on the protagonists, especially Zabaleta, whose performance dropped after the corresponding break. so twelve. His right hands lost their shine.
Rezusta’s figure, on the other hand, grew as the minutes progressed. In addition to missing few balls, he took control of the rally and allowed his striker to feel comfortable on the pitch in both attack and defence. The man from Bergara was fresh enough to hit a rebound at 13-20, when they had been on the pitch for 67 minutes and hit 582 balls. Jokin Altuna took advantage of the shooting opportunities with simplicity and skill, especially with saves to the txoko and slices.
The eight hugs on the scoreboard and the alternatives up to 10-10 gave way to a stretch for the blues to 10-18. Then they kept the advantage against a duo without the ability to react in the midst of so much fatigue.
Pinchazo costal de Ezkurdia
The clash ended with a slip by Joseba Ezkurdia, who upon touching the ground noticed a puncture in the rib area. In pain, the man from Arbizu went to the emergency department of a hospital in Pamplona to take tests and check the extent of the blow. It could be something muscular. We will have to see if he is ready for the match that will close group B this Wednesday at the Labrit. Otherwise, Aspe will have to look for a replacement to face Jaka and Aranguren.
