At 9:00 p.m. next Thursday, one of the most anticipated wrestling evenings of recent years begins at the Andrés Curbelo "Pollo de Tao" arena, the tie-breaker match between the Playa Honda Wrestling Club and the Tinajo Wrestling Club. The XXIV Isla de Lanzarote Trophy is decided with a thrilling clash between the best teams in a close competition where the last day brought excitement in abundance.
The rivals arrived tied at 25 points to the final league fight, both settling their matches with victory. Playa Honda did not have excessive problems against Unión Sur Yaiza, while Tinajo settled their visit to Unión Norte with an 11-12 score, with a final separation between Orlando Medina and Acaymo Curbelo. Francisco Martín "Fafi" remained standing in the team prepared by the legendary Francis Pérez "Pollito de la Fontera".
Now, with 28 points each in their locker, the long-awaited moment arrives to watch the two favorites in the arena in a decisive clash. The league precedents favored Playa Honda in the first league match (10-12), while in the second round they tied. That is, in this league, Tinajo has not defeated Playa Honda. In this last fight in August, played in Playa Honda, the local point guard José A. Santana finally separated with "Fafi" after knocking Acaymo Curbelo to the ground.
