Bullfights at Las Ventas in Madrid during San Isidro, live: the latest from Paco Ureña, Emilio de Justo, and Borja Jiménez today
Watch the latest news from the bullfight at Las Ventas in Madrid for the San Isidro festival today with Paco Ureña, Emilio de Justo, and Borja Jiménez.
The fourth bull is poorly prodded with the lance, but the bull is left halfway. With the banderillas, he's already limping, and arrives at Ureña's muleta without saying a word. He's dull, with little movement, and doesn't lower his head. He had a run on the left, which Ureña took advantage of, but the second run was already passing without any zeal.
Bad with the sword.
The third bull was a difficult one, as he lacked strength. Despite Borja's tenacity, the animal collapsed. It was a shame, because he was determined and wanted to go for the trick, but his small frame couldn't handle it.
Better not talk about the sword.
Emilio de Justo's performance was commendable, as he put his best foot forward with a very ungrateful, lackluster bull, clearly in danger, as it was snatching at the right horn. It wasn't easy, and he managed to fool some fans, but De Justo was above all else, being overly generous with the animal.
He went for the kill but the thrust fell too far.
Emilio tries to show off the second bull in the varas, but the bull tries to escape. The Extremadura native fought well. He tries to get rid of Borja, but the bull slips past him on the right, and he lets him go.
Ureña gives Victorino a brilliance. Thanks to Paco's constant commitment, he delivered passes from both sides, extending the pass and making good final passes, and making the most of the bull's modesty and quickness. However, he fell short and didn't accept the chest passes.
The thrust fell ugly, and he received an ovation.
The first little animal was very rough, and briefly protested. He was tough in the cape and maintained his nerve for the next two-thirds, although his legs were weak.
A minute of silence is observed in honor of Don Victorino Martín, to whom this special bullfight is dedicated.
The stands hang the last one There are no tickets for the fair.
The Victorino bulls close the San Isidro season this Sunday with a highly anticipated lineup, featuring a trio familiar with the grey bulls: Paco Ureña—making his third appearance—and Emilio de Justo—who has also already performed twice—and who cut an ear the previous evening. Closing the list is Borja Jiménez, who in less than two weeks has achieved a double victory at the Monumental. In between, he has fought six Victorino bulls in his confirmation in Nîmes.
