Real Zaragoza - Athletic Club

Real Zaragoza 2 – Athletic Club 0

Athletic Club lost 2-0 against Real Zaragoza. Oriol, in the first half, after a personal play and Apoño, at the beginning of the second from a free-kick, scored the two goals of the match. After this result, European positions are far away, whilst the locals are clinging to staying on top.

Another negative note, in addition to the defeat, is the yellow cards seen by Herrera and Iturraspe, who will be sanctioned and will be unavailable to play against Real Madrid. Thus, a forced rest, for this final loaded stretch of matches. In today’s, for example, the following players were not starters though the latter three did play in the second half: Amorebieta, Javi Martinez, Aurtenetxe, Susaeta, Llorente and Muniain.

In that sense, now we must only recover as best as we can for Wednesday’s match against Real Madrid.
