In the absence of a day for the conclusion of the couples league, Ezkurdia and Tolosa abandoned the red lantern of the classification and are still alive with a view to being in the play-off. Those from Aspe yesterday beat Jaka and Mariezkurrena II at the Labrit pediment in Pamplona and garnered the fourth point that allows them to maintain hope. Those who have it practically lost after the defeat are those of Baiko. They need to win their last game and hope that other results will accompany them, although their chances are quite slim. The triumph of the Aspe also ensures Peña II and Albisu their presence in the next round.
The Colorados kept the faith and found the prize. Their improvement throughout the second lap has translated into results a little late, but they never threw in the towel. In the Navarran capital they played it again to heads or tails and saved a new match.
The forward from Arbizu did a lot of damage with the initial move, squeezed the power he has on his right and, when the material dropped, he had much clearer ideas than his opponent to lead the way. Tolosa played another good game. He suffered when his rival in the long frames dominated, but he did not ask for the ball and was more comfortable in the second half.
The blues collapsed after the halfway point of the contest. Jaka lacked shine and Mariezkurrena II had quite a bit of trouble on the rest. They conceded a five-goal shot that did them a lot of damage and was a huge morale boost for their rivals. Grown up, those of Aspe headed the way to victory.
