The irregularity of Athletic in the same match

Athletic was also inconsistent within the same game, the one played on Thursday at the Nuevo Mirandilla. The rojiblancos recovered from the blow of losing to Celta on Sunday with a very good first half. It seemed that it would be a placid meeting like the one lived last season on the same stage after the goals scored by Raul Garcia, Iker Muniain y Mikel Vesga. This time there was effectiveness against the opposing goal. The San Mamés team created four chances and scored three goals before the break.

The people from Bilbao were winning 0-3 by minute 32 and with this result they went to the locker room. Nothing foreshadowed what would come later. the anger of Sergio Gonzalez his players must have been important because his team came out much more focused in the second half, showing an intensity not seen before.

The visitors were not the same, Lucas Pérez scored the 1-3 as soon as he stepped onto the pitch and Mikel Vesga was unfairly sent off in the 72nd minute – the one who committed the foul was Dani Vivian-. From there everything got complicated. Cádiz began to put centers into the area and Athletic did not know how to take advantage of the advantage on the scoreboard. Ruben Nephew closed the gap and Cádiz still had two other chances to equalize with a shot at the post Wave and a shot that the author of the 2-3 did not reach on the last play.
