FC Basel - Athletic Club

FC Basel 3 Athletic Club 2

Athletic Club have lost 3-2 against FC Basel. Sabin Merino and Kike Sola have scored the our goals.

The rojiblancos have started dominating in the first game of preseason, but the Swiss team have imposed their highest effort as the minutes were passing. After half an hour of play Balenziaga has been sent off for clearing with his hand under the crossbar a ball that was going into the goal, so our team has played an hour in numerical inferiority.

However, before the half time has sent a ball to the crossbar and Sabin Merino has tied the match. The start of the second half has been positive, with Sola’s header to the net from a center of Cordoba, but the Swiss have tied and, despite a header of Etxeita saved under the crossbar by a defender, in the final stretch have used the strategy in the definitive 3-2.
