In the second, however, Athletic has been superior, before and after the draw obtained by Etxeita (his first European goal) but with five minutes remaining Melgarejo has put uncertainty to a tie in which Rico has had to leave the field due to injury.

Unfortunately, beyond mere sporting activity, violence has written a sad page in the prolegomena of the game, in which an agent of the Ertzaintza died after suffering a heart attack. Athletic Club has sent its condolences to the family and companions of the agent and has shown its rejection of the violence generated around football. Do not let it happen again.
