Athletic Club - Real Madrid

Athletic Club 1 – Real Madrid CF 0

Athletic Club has dominated Real Madrid CF (1-0) in San Mamés in a spectacular match that has served to defeat the leader of the Liga. Aritz Aduriz scored the winning goal in the first half.

In a practically full stadium and with a simple ceremony of recognition to celebrate Andoni Iraola’s first 500 matches, our team overcame fatigue and the rival’s quality to take the lead and later applied itself in defence until they obtained the three most important points that, with 33, give us even more peace of mind.

With the European elimination exceeded, the team has closed a fantastic week with two victories in La Liga and qualifying for the Copa Final, all of this without allowing a single goal and facing all the kinds of difficulties.

We now come to a brief rest period to begin preparing, on Tuesday, for the upcoming Liga match on Saturday in Vigo.
