Covirán made the impossible possible. In a packed Palacio de los Deportes he did what he had to do, defeat a Joventut team that gave nothing away and wait for Betis to defeat on Real Madrid’s pitch. A day of heart attack and great match by Bropleh, with 21 points,
The Granada team risked their lives against a proud opponent. La Penya comes out with claw and shows the honesty of his big team. Covirán squeezes (28-24 min, 15). And Carles Durán ask for time with everyone pending Betis in Madrid. Granada fought but La Penya did not give away (28-29). It took an effort. Grenada fought. After finishing the first half (31-35) Covirán pressed while waiting for news from Real Madrid-Betis.
In a duel with many mistakes and painful play, the score was low (38-42 min, 24). A nervous match, but a horrible game. Granada could not find the way.
But Pablo Pin’s team pressed. He went up thanks to a dedicated hobby. He focused on beating La Penya while waiting for news from Real Madrid-Betis. And good. The courage of the people of Granada and the news that came from Madrid did the rest. The Covirán was saved.
