Real Betis - Athletic Club

Real Betis 1 Athletic Club 0

Athletic Club has been defeated by Real Betis Balompié in the Benito Villamarín. Rubén Castro has been the scorer of the unique goal of the match.

Despite having dominated the game for almost the whole match, our team wasn’t able to score in Seville.

From the first moment it was clear how the game was going to be: the locals with a good defence looking for the counterattack and the visitors willing to take control of the match.

Unfortunately the trend has been accentuated since, around the minute 20, Ruben Castro has culminated a quick counterattack. In the second half the Athletic dominion has been almost absolute, but they haven’t been able to give last cross every time that they have approached to the rival area.

After this defeat the team ranks seventh in the table before receiving on Monday the Real Club Celta in San Mamés. In that meeting Aymeric Laporte cann’t play, since he has seen his fifth yellow card.

‘Clean’ week is coming, no games between and in which we meet the European rival for the round of 32.
