Hard-fought matches that CL Tao and CL Unión Norte had to face in the semi-final round of the Isla de Lanzarote Tournament. CL Unión Norte beat CL Unión Sur Yaiza, winning in the double match by 12 to 11. For its part, CL Tao eliminated CL San Bartolomé, in a match in which the batateros won in the first leg by 12 to 11 and the "verdillos" won by 12 to 11 in the second leg. It was necessary to resort to the number of fights in favor to determine the team classified for the final, tilting the balance in favor of CL Tao. A return fight in which Cristo Hernández returned after having to serve a two-month sanction and who was one of the architects of his team's victory.
The two finalists arrive with casualties in their squads to face the duel. CL Tao will not be able to count on the Highlighted "B" Andrés Carmelo Guillén and Roberto Barrios. CL Unión Norte loses its captain David Romero and Luis Socas. The four fighters miss the grand final due to sanction, being eliminated twice for accumulation of reprimands. Without a doubt, CL Tao loses potential in this duel due to the absence of a Highlighted "B". Everything points to Aitor Lorenzo (CL Unión Norte) and Cristo Hernández "Callejón VI" (CL Tao), will be in charge of tilting the balance on the side of either of the two squads.
