Real Betis - Athletic Club

Real Betis Balompié 0 – Athletic Club 2

Athletic Club is back on a winning streak after defeating Real Betis Balompié by 0-2. Iker Muniain, from a penalty shot in the final stretch of the first half and Guillermo, with a header in the last quarter hour of the match, score the goals for our team.

It has been a strange match marked mainly by the two yellow cards and later red seen by both Perquis, in the first half and with the 0-1 already on the scoreboard, by Lolo Reyes, in the first minutes of the second period. However, neither against ten nor against nine has Athletic felt comfortable and perhaps they lacked the pace and ideas to sentence the duel until Guillermo debuted as First Division goal scorer with a header from a cross by Susaeta.

Three more points that serve to maintain a four-point difference as opposed to fifth place, a distance that we’ll have to try to strengthen when Granada CF visits San Mamés on Friday. There are thirteen matchdays left until the end of the season and each point acquires crucial importance.
