Carlos Tirado, winner with two ears in the final of the Andalusian bullfights

Huelva native Carlos Tirado was the winner of the final of the Andalusian bullfighting season held this Sunday at the Plaza de la Maestranza in Seville. He cut an ear from each of his two bulls. In the closing bullfight, he shone with his gaonera pass. The muleta performance began with excitement as Pereda's bull repeated and he linked the series. The music sounded, and once again, a triumphant atmosphere was created, raising the tone of the bullfight with the natural horn, the horn with which he best adapted, resulting in the best series. He killed with a sword thrust, but the bull took a long time to fall.
In his first bullfight, Tirado couldn't show off his cape, but he was very steady with a bull that was distracted from the passes. Far superior to his opponent, the bullfighter from Huelva knew how to take full advantage of a tame animal that never gave in. The music sounded out of time, just as the bull had already flinched. He killed it with a crosswise thrust and cut off an ear.
Neither Martín Morilla nor Cid de María were able to triumph at the Maestranza. The former excelled with the verónica in the fifth, and also in a chicuelina pass, well finished with a half-pass . The performance maintained its tone and even grew in its final phase thanks to the bullfighter's disposition and dedication, as well as his fine manner. He killed with a sword thrust, but it wasn't enough, and he had to use the descabellado. He made a lap of the ring after a warning.
The second bull of the afternoon didn't allow Martín Morilla to show off his cape during the reception, although he showed his good manners at the start of the faena and performed with composure on the right side. However, it was with the natural pass that he best fit in, achieving very aesthetic moments in several series until the bull stopped. He closed with beautiful low passes before finishing with a well-tuned performance . On the second attempt, he was gored, experiencing agonizing moments until the bull was taken away. Silence.
Cid de María showed variety in his use of the cape in the first of the afternoon. He performed with composure, leading his opponent at length until he began to tire . His manners were correct and he failed to truly connect with the audience. He was not as sharp with the sword, and there was silence after his warning.
The fourth bull was tame from the start, showing a fondness for the pens during the third of banderillas. Cid de María, who also suffered a scare while attempting a pass, tried to rein in the bull's charge by leaving the muleta in place and changing its terrain. But the bull always protested and refused to give in, making it impossible to show off. Silence.
