The afternoon brought a surprise for last night’s Bankoa ABNCA-EL DIARIO VASCO Tournament festival in Amezketa. Jon Lazkoz, defender of Unai Amiano (Irun, 2004) in the senior qualifying round called the organizers to inform them that he could not play due to dizziness and an indisposition during his work day.

The emergency solution was Unai Albeniz (Aia, 2003), who accepted the invitation, prepared with just enough time to go to the Larrunarri fronton and played. The aiarra did well and was on the verge of accompanying Unai Amiano (Irun, 2004) to victory, who has splendid power in his privileged left foot.
They won 19-16 and tied at 21 after being 19-21 behind. But Albeniz’s right hand missed by centimeters to the joy of Iker Egiguren (Azpeitia, 2003), magnificent when it came to scoring in the left-handed duel, and a hard-working Aingeru Bernaola (Mañaria, 2004).
Four pelota players battled it out on the Amezketa Larrunarri field in a physically demanding tie whose first half promised even greater toughness. They had already hit 402 hits when they crossed the halfway point of the match at 9-11 and it was difficult to detect where the second half could go.
Nobody knew that Beñat Labaka (Azpeitia, 2005) and Julen Sotil (Betelu, 2006) had just started a run of six goals that took them from 9-10 to 9-16. They opened a gap that was impossible to close for Aner Iglesias (Zaratamo, 2005) and Artea Goiburu (Segura, 2005). Especially since the couple who took the lead were not willing to give away.
Labaka committed a serve fault and missed two volley returns. Sotil lost a solitary ball, the attempted shot just wide of 11-17, with the score already tilted in his favor. The opponents, on the other hand, accumulated thirteen lost goals, too many when the rival closes that route.
Within an acceptable general tone, four hooks by Beñat Labaka stood out this time.
