Swan could not withstand the dominant finish of Bidasoa (42-31)

He Swan was unable to stop the victorious march carries Bidasoa Irún in the Asobal League. He wants to fight for third place and although he is on his way to Europe, the club at the bottom did not make it easy for him. Javier Márquez’s side suffered scoring opportunities almost until the last leg. 60 minutes, and especially the last ten, became offensive festival with 73 goals.

Pontevedra had a hard time entering the game. It seemed that they would be at the mercy of the Gipuzkoans in the first minutes, but the attacks prevailed over the defenses in both fields. The two teams were tied and everything that came, became a goal.

The home team seemed to be playing at half speed against the bottom team, but the jersey and history don’t win games. The Swan, for its part, kept to good inertia Alex Chan, Cavalcanti and Furtado to get on the opponent’s nerves, enjoy small differences in advantage and reach half time. With everything, they went into the locker room tunnel to settle in the second half (19-19). Artalek fans expected something more from their team, but the reaction was late. The Whites held their own at the beginning of this period, while the Basque team remained weak in defense and relied all their offensive potential on the good work of junior Gorka Nieto, who continued his spectacular progress in the last month and scored ten goals.

The resistance of Pontevedra ended fifteen minutes before the end, when Bidasoa Irún showed his most recognizable edition. The goal began to work, and the attack was totally fluid to achieve a six advantage ten minutes before the end (34-28). It wasn’t the final score yet, but it put the game on track within minutes of Cisne’s defensive dissonance.

The six goals that Bidasoa had in the lead with seven minutes to go were a sentence and, despite the fact that Furtado and Chan fought to the last strength, the balance was already unbalanced in favor of the team that continues its sweet moment and that did not say its last word in the final battle for European places.

Javier Márquez: “We showed the face we have this year, playing face to face”

He Swan he died in the last part of the game. It can be said that the tenure of the aspirant for the appearance in Europe won the game in the final minutes after he managed to keep the score until the break. Coach, Javier MarquezFar from showing a bitter face, he recognized the work of his players. “I think we have seen the face we give this season, exchanging very good moments 40 minutes of face-to-face play and know how to create danger and have patience”, explains Javier Márquez, who recognized that the role in defense is also solvent.

After the break, there is a reversal, and Bidasoa shows that sovereignty in attack that was hidden during the first half. Javier Márquez recognized this descent into the hells of his people. “We reached a boiling point and from there there was no more history. “Bidasoa went further in the points table and we could no longer continue the competition,” says the coach. It was the third game of the Swans in a week. Last Wednesday, they lost at home to Puente Genil in a game that would have brought them closer to the fight for survival.
