Johan and López have claimed victory in two sets, 15-8 and 15-13in a match that has had quality from the beginning, and, in the second set, excitement due to the equality on the scoreboard.
Johan and López have been superior in the first set, and they have deservedly noted it. Except for the 1-1 draw, the Biarritz striker and the Zumaia defender have been ahead throughout the match. The four point players have tried to put on a show, now without the pressure of seeking the final, and there have been actions to highlight, especially by Johan Sorozabal and Imanol López, although Jean Olharan and Julen del Río, with their powerful right, they have also offered so many to enjoy.
The yellow pair went ahead 5-2, and Olharan and Del Río later served to tie, but they did not succeed, and the difference went up to 9-4. The last stretch of the set made it clear that Johan and López were going to win it, and they finally left the score at 15-8.
In the second set, there has been more equality, on the field and on the scoreboard. Olharan and Del Río have gone ahead 3-0, and it seemed that the forward from Pau and the defender from Gasteiz were decisively seeking the tiebreaker set. Johan and Imanol have equalized at three, and the two couples have been very even until practically the end of the match.
With 12-8 for the yellows, Olharan and Del Río have been able to react brilliantly, and have achieved the tie at 13. The last two goals, however, were scored by Johan and Imanol, who, in this way, have certified the third place in this Eusko Label Winter Series.
