After last weekend’s tough defeat in León, the Athletic Club reserves were back in goalscoring form at Lezama against Salamanca.

The first half was extraordinary for the reserves, who were in control all the time, enjoying their best chances during the first 45 minutes. 

They went into half-time with a narrow lead after Artola nodded home a precise cross from the left flank by García de Albéniz.

Up to three times (in minutes 1, 24 and 31) Baqué could have scored and extended the Cubs’ lead. However, Salamanca’s goalkeeper Sotres kept his team alive.

The second half had a similar rhythm to the first, although it is true that Salamanca CF had more attempts than during the first half. 

After Ezkieta saved well, Bilbao Athletic responded and came back into the match. Artola put the reserves 2-0 up after getting a head on Morcillo’s corner in the 59th minute.

Vivian got the third goal from another corner in the 84th minute, and in the 91st, in the last play of the game, a subtle low shot by Sancet from inside the area put the final score at 4-0.

With seven points on the board, next weekend Bilbao Athletic will travel to Navarre to play against CD Tudelano.
