Bidasoa Irun maintained their perfect record in the ASOBAL League, securing a 38:33 win against Proin Sevilla on Saturday. The hosts, sitting top of the table with four victories, proved their attacking depth against a Proin side looking to climb away from the middle of the pack. The final whistle brought a familiar pattern of goals for both sides.
To be fair, the visitors had shown promise earlier in the season, though results like this remind you how fragile those positions can be. Proin Sevilla sit eighth with four points, while Bidasoa lead with eight, a gap that feels significant after this result.
The hosts came in with momentum, having beaten Maritimu and Puente-Henil in their previous outings, while Proin had edged past Nava on Wednesday. And here's the thing, despite the similar scores in those warm-ups, this match carried a different weight. The tempo was high throughout.
There was no shortage of chances on offer, with the scoreline reflecting a game where defence often took a back seat. Bidasoa managed to string together enough attacks to keep the visitors on the run, never letting the deficit grow beyond reach.
The victory leaves Bidasoa Irun eight points clear at the top, extending their lead over the chasing pack.
