It is difficult to make things worse than Athletic in Granada and get such a great prize. Although in a semifinal, you know, the end justifies the means. And the end, in this case, is a Cup final and against Real Sociedad. Almost nothing. The derby of all time, after 111 years of waiting, will be held within a month and a half in Seville after Athletic survived himself and Granada without knowing very well how. What's more. Classification, friend, as Caparrs left. (Granada 2 – Athletic 1: Narration and statistics)

Yuri's goal in the 81st minute, which arose almost by spontaneous generation, plunged a grenade into misery that was squeezed to the maximum to play the second final of its history, but it didn't work. The lonely both of Muniain in the first leg result at the decisive end for Athletic to access its fourth Cup final of the last 11 years. His match in Los Crmenes was horrifying, but the party was for a thousand fans displaced from Bilbao and the funeral for a Granada to which nothing can be reproached.

Well, something s. The welcome nazar to his rival consisted of a kick of Yangel Herrera to Muniain when they had hardly played two or three seconds of the game, still inside the central circle. Wanted or improvised, that hard fault predicted the intensity and aggressiveness that those of Diego Martnez They were going to impose during the initial minutes. Copying the drawing of three central Bilbao, as he did in the second part of the first leg, the Galician coach sought to be vertical by the bands, with Machs as the main stiletto on the left sector and Foulquier on the right He was undoubtedly benefited by the slow coverage of San Jos, emergency substitute yesterday for the sanctioned Dani Garca, and Vesga. Conservatism has these things.

Without football in the home ball, he sent Granada in the game until an inexplicable header from Vctor Daz He turned the guin toward his own goalkeeper. Rui Silva saved the fire friend, but the Nazar team seemed to enter the tremble and allowed two good chances to San Jos Y Ral Garca, thanks to the speed of Yuri Y Williams. It was a passing moment, but Granada, cut the pace, was no longer able to recover the effusivity of the initial minutes. Maintains the almost absolute dominance of the ball, but failed to intimidate the populated defense of a self-limited Athletic to trace kicks that rarely reached the last third of the field.

Yuri's career

The first half ended with a goal sung by Herrera in a crush that Williams took out under sticks and the second woke up with the goal that matched the tie. Machs centr to the area from the left and Carlos Fernndez, relief of the sanctioned Soldier, Nez anticipated to head to a corner of the goalkeeper that Simn could not reach. Germn, ten minutes later, was about to score the second in another sieve, displaying Athletic's problems bypassing and standing still, despite his accumulation of towers.

It was then that Garitano finally understood that he had to change something, whatever. So I sacrificed Capa, undid the defense of five men, sent Yeray to the right side and entered Crdoba as an end by the other band. But the thing still looked the same, scary for their interests, than before. Perhaps even worse the Athletic that no longer knew or attack or defend. And the just punishment came to him 14 minutes from the end, again overlooked, again before Nez, now standing still, in a Gernan-headed header that sent Granada to the final in Seville.

Burn then Garitano His last bullet. Aduriz to the field and that was what God wanted. And it was more or less, because what happened was a miracle. Vesga, psimo for 80 minutes, leaked a pass to Yuri's career and the side rifle to Rui Silva. No one believes what just happened. Athletic, suddenly, was again qualified for the final and that made him unbeatable, no matter how much Granada attacked relentlessly, crying how far Seville was and how close it had been.
