Athletic Club defeated Östersunds FK 1-0 in San Mamés. Aduriz has scored the only goal of the match.

First and deserved victory in the Group Stage after a tremendous work of attrition. At the same time, it has become clear that the great performance shown by the Swedish team in the match played in his fief was not a day, but an unmistakable symptom of a very solid team and more considering that their domestic championship is about to finish.

Our players have go out to the pitch determined to lead from the initial whistle and have achieved it during almost all phases of the game, although the initiative has not translated into a large number of chances. As shown by the sixteen corners taken by none from the visiting side.

The perseverance has had its reward and in the 70th minute Aduriz has scored with a header after a ball by Raúl García who had repelled the crossbar.

After the triumph the group is open with options for the four contenders: ÖFK 7 points, Zorya 6, Athletic Club 5 and Hertha 4.
