Athletic Club 1-Espanyol 0: Maximum effectiveness

The result against Espanyol (1-0) and the resulting three points are the only positive things that can be rescued from a match that had as an additional attraction the return of our former coach, Luis Fernández, and that has served as a setting for the solidarity of the players with teammate Carlos Gurpegi and with team doctor Sabino Padilla.

Beyond the poor play, the match has left some positive data: the goal by Iraola elevates to four the number of own goal scorers and, with this, it’s already five the consecutive triumphant matches in La Catedral, of which four have been goalless against.
