Athletic Club - Villarreal CF

Athletic Club 1 Villarreal CF 0

Athletic Club defeated Villarreal CF 1-0 at San Mamés. The only goal of the game was scored by Raúl García in the 68th minute when he headed home Sergio Asenjo’s clearance.

Our team has faced the first of the nine matches that will be played after the break with a victory as hard-earned as it was deserved. After a very tight first half in which the control of the game was not synonymous with chances, in the second half Athletic’s determination undermined the yellow resistance and after a ball from Williams hit the post and Raúl García’s goal, the chances to increase the difference were thwarted by Sergio Asenjo and the uncertainty lasted until the end.

And without further ado, on Thursday, at 21:05, the penultimate opportunity to stay alive in Europe with the visit of US Sassuolo Calcio on the horizon. A win would increase the chances of going forward.
