And on the fifth day they have appeared. In the previous one they were close, but Altuna III and Martija added their first Parejas point this Friday night at the Atano III fronton in San Sebastián after beating Laso and Aranguren. Those from Aspe have recognized themselves on the field and have had a much more complete duel than their rivals, far from their best version. The one from Amezketa and his partner are going further. In his second game after returning from the shoulder injury, the forward has been very active and seems increasingly comfortable on the pitch, while the defender has been able to enjoy it in a way he hasn’t done in a long time.

Those from Baiko have not been well. Especially the forward. Laso has been seen to be accelerated in a duel in which the forwards have had a lot of prominence and he has made too many mistakes. Aranguren tried to hold off the clash but he only managed to do so at times.

The winners have entered the contest better, which has been played at a good pace, and Altuna III has been more correct when making decisions because it has had better options. Their air play with their left foot is becoming more incisive and it was after 6-3 that they opened a gap, taking advantage of the local bodyguard’s facilities and his greater consistency.

The one from Bizkarreta-Gerendian has appeared in bursts and they have managed to get close to two goals (10-8), but they have lacked continuity. With a spectacular two walls from the width of box four, Altuna III reached the first mandatory break, and in the second half of the match those from Aspe handled the situation much better. They have moved their rivals well and have opened the definitive gap in the light without being able to stop them. The man from Amezketa finished the match without making a single mistake.

Artola and Imaz

At the Uarkape fronton in Arrasate, Artola and Imaz have earned their second point after beating (18-22) Ezkurdia and Tolosa. Baiko’s team takes a breath after carrying out a duel that became complicated for them at the end. Those who have dressed in blue have started much more in tune than their rivals and have always been ahead on the scoreboard with advantages of up to eight points (4-12). However, Arbizu’s forward entered the game little by little and, well helped by his defender, they began a comeback that allowed them to tie the game before the second mandatory break (17-17).

The tension has increased and the match has remained uncertain for the next few goals. After 18-19, a wide opening by Ezkurdia that the judges considered had been thrown out has generated some controversy and the blues have managed to tie the game shortly after.

The fifth day of the competition closes this Saturday (5:15 p.m.) with two matches. At the Bizkaia fronton, Elordi and Rezusta face Peña II and Albisu. Both combinations arrive after a defeat and want to make amends. In Pamplona’s Labrit, Jaka and Mariezkurrena II play against Peio Etxeberria and Zabaleta.
