Euskaraz irakurri: Alberto Munarrizek seigarren postuan amaitu du, Espainiako selekzioak Greziarekin galduta
The Spanish team ended its participation with a defeat against Greece (15-13) and, therefore, the Navarrese Alberto Munárriz finishes in sixth place his adventure at the Paris Olympic Games.
It was a game with little tension, a lot of exchange of goals and with nothing at stake between two of the teams that had the medals in their headsbut they met to play for fifth place, early in the morning and on the last day of competition.
The Greeks, first in their group in the first phase, and the Spanish, also leaders of their group in the group stage, They fell in the quarterfinals against Serbia and Croatiarespectively, and from that moment on all their expectations fell apart.
So after the first quarter score, which ended 2-2 and an initial goal by Álvaro Granados, which was the only advantage for David Martín’s team in the entire match, Spain practically forgot to defend in the second and third quarter and so the game finally slipped away from him.
