Bilbao Athletic prevailed 3-0 over UD Logroñés on the 11th matchday in the Second Division B Group II held at Lezama Facilities. Joseba Etxeberria’s side keep being undefeated at home and break the tie in the standings with the Riojan team, settling alone at the top of the table with 26 points.

UD Logroñés started the game with a double scoring chance in the third minute, which Sillero and then Ezkieta spoiled. Gradually, Bilbao Athletic started dominating on the pitch, keeping higher possession of the ball and often getting near their opponent’s area. As a result, after a corner-kick taken by Vencedor on 21 minutes, Ewan Urain took advantage of hesitant goalkeeper Miño to score for a third successive game, giving Joseba Etxeberria’s lads the lead. Unfortunately, half an hour into the game, Sillero had to be replaced by Baqué due to an injury. Before the break, Ezkieta had to put all his efforts into clearing a dangerous low shot from Iñaki.

Once the second half was under way, Morcillo managed to get rid of his marker after a great individual play at the corner of the box and, with a snapshot that entered the UD Logroñés goal close to the nearest post, scored the second goal of the morning at Lezama. Ten minutes later, on 67 minutes, a low shot by Sancet from inside the area was turned into the third red-and-white goal. The visitors reduced the goal difference with a left-footed strike from Andy, who had been assisted by Ñoño. The scoreboard did not change afterwards, reflecting a final 3-1 that extends the Cub’s good run in a great start to the season.

Next weekend, Bilbao Athletic will play against Burgos CF at El Plantío in the fixture corresponding to the 12th matchday, that will be held on Sunday 10 November at 5 p.m.
