Olympique Lyonnais 2 – Athletic Club 1

Athletic Club comes home empty-handed from its visit to Lyon, where Olympique has prevailed 2-1. Lisandro opened the scoring soon after the second half began, Ibai equalized in the final stretch, but a goal by Bryand in the final stages left our team with nothing.

The Rojiblancos deserved a lot more than what they got, but even after carrying the weight of the match, they were less effective than its rival and more so at the decisive moments of the match.

Qualifying is now very difficult, more so after Sparta de Praha victory against Hapoel Kyriat by (3-1), although mathematics still leaves a hint of hope if the remaining three matches are won.

Trying to leave deception aside as quickly as possible, the rojiblancos will now begin to prepare for this Sunday’s Liga match against Getafe in San Mamés, another match of great importance.
