The Irudek Bidasoa-Irun has won 35-30 to the Potaissa Turda in Artaleku, confirmingtheir ranking for the 8th finals. The contest has begun conditioned by the victory of the Flensburg on the other track of the group, a result that left the Guipuzcoans with the opportunity to secure their goal with a victory of their own.
The yellow team responded with a solid staging, with a lively defense and based on the initial effectiveness of Dariel García and Jon Vallés. However, the Romanian team, despite arriving in the last position, showed the trade and managed to go back after a hard partial that left the locals confused.
In that critical stretch the figure of Gorka Nietohas appeared, his three so many have returned the Bidasoa to the game and revived the stands. The push of the Biscayan has allowed the Irundarras to regain control before the break in order to face the second half with greater stability.
