Athletic Club 4 EDF Logroño 3

An unpleasant afternoon in terms of the weather was the setting for the 23rd matchday of the league season at Lezama. As a reward for the red and white fans gathered in the stands at Lezama, Lucía García scored a superb goal just after the first minute of play. In the 28th minute, Lucía extended the Bilbao lead with an accurate shot that hit the top left hand corner of the goalkeeper’s left hand post. The Riojan team woke up and reduced the lead, but it was a mere mirage that Lucía, once again, was in charge of dissipating.

The second half, with alternating possession, was the moment that EDF Logroño took advantage of to tie the game. When it seemed that a point would travel to the capital of La Rioja, Ane Azkona picked up a split ball in the six-yard box to send it into the back of the net and seal a very important victory to continue fighting for the podium of honour in the league.
