Bilbao Athletic become leaders

Fourth consecutive victory after beating Arenas Club 1-2 in today’s derby

undefined

Athletic Club’s reserve team have picked up their fourth consecutive victory in the Division B Group II after winning their first Biscayan derby this season against Arenas Club 1-2 at Fadura, thanks to Artola’s and Luengo’s headers. This result ensures Bilbao Athletic’s leading position in the table at the end of matchday seven, whatever tomorrow’s results will be.

During the first half, both teams got to their opponents’ box on more than one occasion but no great chances to open the score were created. The second half started along the same lines, but the cubs turned the game their way on 53 minutes thanks to Morcillo’s cross from the left flank, which was headed into goal by Artola.

From then on, Arenas Club pressed in search of the equaliser that finally arrived with Frau’s header on 77 minutes. However, Joseba Etxeberria’s lads did not give up and managed to score their winning goal 1-2: a corner kick bounded by Vencedor and headed into goal by Luengo.

Next weekend, Bilbao Athletic will face another Biscay derby, this time against SD Amorebieta at Lezama.
