Athletic gives a great level against AS Roma

The referee prevented Athletic a victory in the 90’s by interpreting a penalty in a play that was Zaniolo’s hand, the player who shooted

Athletic is ready to measure FC Barcelona. This has been witnessed with a very serious match against AS Roma, giving a great competitive level, in the main course of the preseason. The lions did not win for a non-existent penalty in the 90th minute. The referee saw Yeray’s hand when it was Zaniolo’s, the player who shooted. The 2-2 was the least, but there was pride in not having won a friendly that went uphill when Yuri Berchiche has been booked for an exaggerated red before the final half hour.

Garitano’s team made intense pressure up from the beginning to the Roman team. Raúl García stole a ball and planted Córdoba alone against Mirante. He kicked the ball to the Roman goal.

The lions tried to put many players in Fonseca’s field. And just a couple of troubles away done by the Turkish Cengiz Ünder. In the first one, Unai Simón narrowed well with his departure. In the other , he did not measure the exit and Yeray cleared the ball placidly.

By then, the Bilbao team had advanced on the scoreboard in 26 ’. It was thanks to the determined pressure of Williams, who gave the ball to Muniain easily so that he scored with pleasure. Iker always has played good at Italy, his crucial goal in Naples that gave half a pass to the Champions League is still remembered.

Athletic felt comfortable in the field and came to the half-time 0-1 with no more incidents than the two cards to Raúl García and Unai López, who threatened Pau López with a shot from outside the area after the restart.

The worst was the blow that Cordoba suffered in a play in which Kolarov scored the goal with a great free kick. And the subsequent expulsion of Yuri for an entry below. Athletic stayed with ten players with half an hour ahead and defended with great order.

And in those, Dani García stole a ball up and took a shot he hit in Antonucci’s hand. Penalty and goal by Raúl García cheating on Pau López. And in the last minute, there was a maximum penalty for Yeray’s hand that was not. A pity
