So, Ander Goikoetxea and Endika Barrenetxea lead the quarterfinal group of the championship, with two victories in two games, for a total of seven points; Imanol Ansa and Ibon Zaldua, with four points, are in second position.
In this way, the clash between the couples representing the cider houses Oialume Tsar (Goikoetxea V-Barrenetxea IV) and gurutzeta (Ezkurra II-Zubiri) has opened the second day. It was a match full of alternatives, in which the Colorados, the Gipuzkoan couple formed by Goikoetxea from Urnietar and Barrenetxea from Hernania, have established wide advantages in the course of their first two sets, but that the Blues, the Navarrese couple who complete Santesteban striker Josetxo Ezkurra and Goizueta defender Aritz Zubiri have known how to play to keep their chances until the very end. The 5-2 tiebreaker set gave victory to Goikoetxea V and Barrenetxea IV.
The first set looked like it was going to fall easily to the red side, since Oialume Zar’s men have placed a 14-6 that seemed definitive; but their rivals from Gurutzeta have recovered their serve, with their seventh goal, and have placed another seven in a row. Finally, with 14-14, the colorados have had the necessary success to resist and score the first set.
The second has been, in its first part, very even, with draws at three, four and five, but Goikoetxea and Barrenetxea, then, have taken control again and have gone until 11-6, which left them to only four goals from the sentence. There came a new reaction from Ezkurra and Zubiri, who quickly equalized the score and went for the victory in the set; They have achieved it 15-12, and it seemed that they could find themselves in a better situation than their rivals for the tiebreaker set, after having been about to come back in the first and having achieved it in the second.
Aritz Zubiri had the serve at the start of the third and final set, which could be decisive, given that it is a five-goal game, but he committed a foul and the Colorados found themselves with a crucial advantage. It went from 3-0 to 2-4, with the Navarrese couple not giving in, but the Gipuzkoans got their fifth goal up on the scoreboard and thus claimed victory.
In the second meeting tonight, Ansa II and Zaldua, representing aburuzahave faced Beñat Segurola and Aritz Juanenea, from Bereziartua. The colorados, both from Gipuzkoa (Ansa de Urnieta and Zaldua from San Sebastián), have scored the first set more clearly than that reflected in the 15-10 final, because the blue pair, with a Gipuzkoan striker, from Aizarnabal, and a Navarrese defender , from Saldias, have come to see themselves with ten goals behind, at 14-4. At least, they have finished the set with a better taste in their mouths, after achieving a run of six goals in a row, before the fifteenth of their rivals.
The emotion has presided over the second set, which has been much more balanced and whose resolution has been uncertain until almost the end. The blues have scored it, by 15-12, after the result has been tied at three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ten and twelve; that’s how even it has been, before Segurola and Zubiri, with a brilliant final reaction, have scored three consecutive goals that have taken the match to the third set.
The tiebreaker set was dominated by Colorado. Ansa and Zaldua have given no choice, and have won 5-1, from a 3-0 that has already been unattainable for their rivals. The first triumph of those from Aburuza was already a fact.
