Euskaraz irakurri: Johanek eta Lopezek, aurreikusitakoa betez, Eusko Label Winter Serieseko finalerdietarako txartela lortu dute

Johan Sorozabal and Imanol López have defeated this Monday Jokin Arbe and Mikel Mancisidor in both sets, for 15-14 and 15-7, on the eighth day of the Eusko Label Winter Series 2023-24. Thus, the yellow team has mathematically assured their place in the semi-finals of the championship within group B, with 9 points.

Today’s match took place in a packed Gernika-Lumo Jai Alai, knowing that the match was going to be tough, lively and with a lot to lose, but also to gain. Arbe and Manci had the only option to win this match to continue on their way to the semifinals, and that is how they have fought for it during the first setwhen they have started the clash with a lot of strength, putting the opposing couple against the ropes on several occasions. However, after the tie at six, Johan and López reacted and took the lead after a disputed so much on the part of the one from Biarritz in which he has given his all, throwing himself to the ground to get the necessary momentum and achieve a spectacular two walls.

From then on, the goals were expensive, and the score increased little by little in both parts until the Arbe-Manci couple managed to equalize it at 14-14. The last goal showed a lively game, at the front and at the back. A bit close that would mark the second half. The two sides have played and fought intensely, with long and short bounces, until Arbe, with the intention of ending this first set, shot with the intention of playing with the left wall and it escaped to the outside. A bit hard, unexpected, after 45 hits.

He second set has already begun sentencing. Johan and López, clear favorites before the match, prevailed and dominated the entire time until the score was 11-3. From there, in a last attempt to overcome, Arbe and Manci have climbed the scoreboard, point by point, up to 14-7, trying to put the opposing pair in a bind again. But they haven’t achieved it.

The Johan-López couple has thus placed themselves in the first place in group B, in the absence of the hitherto first ones, Erkiaga-Ibarluzea, with 7 points, will face Laduche-Gorka on January 8. And the first could snatch first place from today’s champions if they win the meeting at the beginning of the year.
