Athletic Club - Deportivo Alavés

Athletic Club 0 Deportivo Alavés 0

Athletic Club and Deportivo Alavés have tied to zero goals in San Mamés, in the last of the Basque derbies that were disputed in San Mamés. The balance is two wins and two ties, both scoreless. Today has been a disputed encounter, with few occasions and at times cold, like the morning.

Each team has had a couple of clear chances. The first have been for Athletic, who has commanded with more clarity in the first part, after a shot by Raúl García cleared by Ortolá and the second, with a header from Laporte, which has gone wide over the crossbar.

In the visitors’ stand the two options have been the result of two home turnovers. The first in an attempt of clearance that has enabled Camarasa, but his shot on the one on one with Iraizoz has crashed into the post. In the second half, another loss of the ball has allowed Deyverson to face Iraizoz, but the goalkeeper has repelled the kick.

The worst has been the injury of Kepa Arrizabalaga on the same day Aduriz completed his match 300 as rojiblanco.

One more point on the qualifying table, now are 27, before attempting to surprise Wednesday in the Cup to travel, almost immediately, to Leganés, in what will be the penultimate game of the first round.
