Athletic Club, to the final of the Euskal Herriko Cup

After drawing in injury time, the team seals its passage to the final in the penalties.

The red-and-white supporters had to suffer and wait until the end of the penalty kicks to be able to celebrate a new classification for the final of the Euskal Herriko Cup. In fact, Joseba Agirre’s team had to beat a tough opponent in Santa Barbara in Galdakao, who played a great match.

The SD Eibar has planned a match where the red-and-white have not found space to develop their usual football, and despite the fact that during the early stages of the fixture Athletic Club has handled the game at will, the team was ahead in the final moments of the first half thanks to a great goal from Ibarrola.

In the second half, the Athletic Club has gone out to turn the result, and has enjoyed very clear occasions that has not been able to materialize. Everything would change in the 92 of the match when a lateral foul thrown to the heart of the area has been finished off at the bottom of the nets with forcefulness by Valdezate.

The time came for the lottery of penalties. And although Athletic Club failed its first pitch, the calm and security shown by the team of Joseba Agirre in the decisive moments have made that finally the pass to the final of the Euskal Herriko Cup chose the Bilbao side. The final score of 4-3 gives the right to Athletic Club to play a new final of the Euskal Herriko Cup this next preseason.
