“This result is a shame because we created more chances, controlled more, and put a lot of effort into it. None of that’s been rewarded.” This is how Athletic’s manager Gaizka Garitano evaluated the narrow loss at San Mamés against CA Osasuna.

When summarising the match, Garitano explained that “we’ve struggled in the first half, but in the second one we created enough chances to have won the game. Evidently, we lost, but we had more and clearer scoring chances. We couldn’t make it.” He also admitted that the lack of goals “is neither bad luck nor a coincidence, because it happens to us very often.”

The red-and-white coach remarked on the good job done defensively by Osasuna and insisted that “we haven’t given away anything, and that’s difficult in the first division. We have controlled and created opportunities to score and win”, and confessed he is concerned “because we haven’t won for a long time.” He also said that “although it can’t be used as an excuse, our progress in LaLiga is conditioned by the progress in the Copa, and we have lacked freshness and playing good football.”
