Bidasoa Irun, runner-up in the Asobal Cup (29-37)

Euskaraz irakurri: Bidasoa Irun, Asobal Kopako azpitxapeldun (29-37)

Bidasoa Irun has not been able to surprise in the final of the Asobal Cup played at the Príncipe Felipe Pavilion in Zaragoza and has fallen with honors against Barcelona. The Gipuzkoans have shown their faces at all times but they have not been able to prevent the Catalans from showing their superiority on the scoreboard practically throughout the match (29-37).

The whole of the Ciudad Condal showed off his status as favorite and added one more title to his already extensive record against a Bidasoa Irun who competed well while his strength lasted, but whose demanding semi-final against Fraikin Granollers and the important casualties with which he reached the ‘Final Cuatro’ ended up being billed.

The team from Gipuzkoa remained firm in the containment, but had many problems to overcome the defensive framework from Antonio Carlos Ortega’s team, although they kept things level until shortly after minute 10.

From there, Barça managed to take off little by little, reaching four goals in the middle of this period (6-10) thanks to the fact that his rival ran into Pérez de Vargas and the posts in several 6-meter throws.

However, Jacobo Cuétara’s men, far from lowering their arms, and thanks to the foresight of Kauldi Odriozola in attack during the last minutes of this period, were able to score a partial 5-3 to reach the shore alive break (14-17).

The return of changing rooms returned the maximum of five goals of the azulgrana team and extended it to seven (18-25).

Runner-up and farewells

The irundarra team seemed to begin to notice the psychological weight of the difference and the fatigue because their work against their goalkeeper was not as solvent as in the first act and that made it easier for the Barça, with greater depth of bench, maintained the differences without stress to win a comfortable victory against a Bidasoa who, even so, fought until the end (29-37).

Special match at Bidasoa Irun, with the farewells of Sierra, who is retiring, and Kauldi Odriozola, who will play for Nantes the next season. The Zumaia winger was also the match’s top scorer with 8 goals.
