Re(2): Well 2...

My point is that by doing these long rallies with Lopez, they play right into his hands and the game becomes defensive, which is Lopez's strongest feature.

That makes it easy for Lopez to stamp his will on the game and control the narrative, and he did.

Offense is Goixerri's strongest feature, so playing a highly defensive game plays against his greatest strength and makes it much harder to win.

As I said, many of Goixerri's shots when he finally took them, were subpar and rightfully intercepted by Jairo. Instead, Goixerri needed to definitively end points early in the exchange before Lopez's power and consistency paid dividends.
