Bilbao Athletic adds a point in Irun

Bilbao Athletic grabbed a point in their visit to Real Unión. Beñat Prados put the Bilbao team ahead in the 27th minute of the game when he headed in a measured cross from Adu Ares and central defender Barbu equalized four minutes later from a corner. This draw allows the puppies to at least temporarily overtake DUX and move three points away from Talavera, who lost at home to Celta B.

We will have to be attentive, in any case, to what happens with Deportivo’s claim for improper alignment of Diarra and Artola in last Sunday’s clash in Lezama. The Bilbao team is in danger of being deducted the point harvested against the squad from A Coruña. Ibaigane is already working on the consequent defense before the Competition Committee.

Bilbao Athletic, based on what was seen on the pitch at Stadium Gal, deserved more than a draw against a rival that barely finished between the three posts of the goal defended again by Agirrezabala. The young goalkeeper, who this time has not been mentioned by Marcelino, was just another spectator. Nor is it that Irazusta, the local goalkeeper, had too much to do, but the arrivals of the Bilbao team were clearer and more dangerous. The shot between the three sticks, except for a shot by Luis Bilbao, was conspicuous by his absence.

The puppies put all the meat on the grill to try to bring the three points, but they ran into a consistent and tenacious rival. Defensive precautions prevented Bilbao from greater evils. Both Sillero and Paredes, the two central defenders, were at a very good level.

Patxi Salinas, with the clear intention of going for the three points, opted for a consecutive triple change with half an hour to go and even put Ewan two minutes from the end in search of repeating the story lived in Lezama a few weeks ago in front of Tudelano. This time, however, everything remained as it was. The puppies take a small step forward, but Deportivo’s claim can make them take another step back.
