Athletic Club - Getafe CF

Athletic Club 0 Getafe CF 0

Athletic Club and Getafe CF played out a goalless draw at San Mamés in the opening game of the 2017/18 league season. The Red and Whites started with initiative, but were not sufficiently successful, despite having clear options to break down the opponents’ defensive wall.

The visitors created their greatest danger from strategic plays. Their two clearest chances they had were both blocked by Kepa, although in the first one they claimed the ball had crossed the line.

In the end, the points were shared and we await to find out on Thursday what our European future holds after the visit of Panathinaikos.

However, the best news of the night came from Unai Núñez and Iñigo Córdoba, who had the privilege and pride of being the 605th and 606th debutants in our shirt in an official match, even more so after spending almost their entire lives in Lezama. Curiously, the eleven players who finished the match had all come from our academy.
