CELTA-ATHLETIC | Shotguns without ammo

The duel between Coudet and Marcelino was sealed with a handshake to accept the draw. There was no winner and, probably, none deserved it. It was a game full of good intentions, but lacking much creativity in the last meters and without any success in the shot.. The defenders were imposed at all times to the forwards, thus reaching the logical consequence of a zero draw.

And that both Celta and Athletic came out ready to hit. Lo Villalibre tried at four minutes with a volley from the left side. The 'buffalo' was somewhat heeled and Villar cleared without major problems. Celta immediately responded with a combination within the area between Brais and Mina, but the forward from Vigo finished somewhat forced and Unai Simón caught the ball without major shocks.The same protagonists of Celta in the following action. Brais's center and Mina's header that went wide. In the reply Lekue appeared with a center-kick that altered Villar's pulsations. The goalkeeper managed to deflect the ball in time.

The exchange of blows was frenetic, although the occasions weren't quite perfect. Both teams prowled the goal, but fell far behind in the attempt. Halfway through the first half, Tapia tried with a distant shot that went straight into the hands of Unai Simón. The first act closed, however, with two approaches from Bilbao, but Berenguer and Dani García also had wet gunpowder.

Marcelino moved the bench at halftime. He gave entry to Muniain by Raúl García and the Biscayan captain gave another air in attack to his team. But as soon as the ball reached the vicinity of the area, the fog appeared. In fact, the only two notable occasions in the second part were blue. In the first few minutes Nolito tried with a shot from outside the area that Unai Simón caught and in the last minutes, Aspas repeated the formula with a left foot that brushed the stick. But it was not the day of the attacks. The hunters went with empty shotguns to Balaídos.
