Olharan-Lopez against Goikoetxea-Lekerika, the poster of this second semi-final was of great luxury. And we were far from foreseeing the course of this part. Namely: a first round 15-1 completed in 16 minutes by Olharan and Lopez. A historic score thanks to the conjunction of two elements. First an omnipresent and impassable Lopez supported by an enterprising Olharan as usual but surgical this evening in the execution. Conversely, Goiko was not on his best night while Lekerika was unrecognizable.
Run two was more in line with a game at this level. And that because Lopez and Olharan have experienced an understandable relaxation and especially because the real Lekerika has resurfaced a little, giving more space to Goiko's game. The game was not reversed for all that. Olharan and Lopez closed the deal but worked a little harder. Score the second round: 15-11, more honorable all the same for champions of the caliber of Goiko and Lekerika. But it is Olharan and Lopez who are in the final of this Master 1.
