The Athletic Club has lost 3-0 to the Girona this Saturday, the 28th day match of the EA Sports League played in the Estadi Municipal Montilvin. The Valverde team has suffered a painful defeat against the Girona by losing 3-0 to the goals of Hugo Rincón, Azzedine Ounahi and Claudio Echeverri.

 

 

The first part of the match between Athletic and Girona at the Estadi Montilivi has started in the worst way for the red-white team. In thefourth minute, the Valverde team has made the 1-0 a after a move from the right band of the Girona. Hugo Rincón, ceded by the Athletic, has made a powerful cross shot after an assistance from Viktor Tsygankov.

After the goal, the visiting team has tried to react , but has had great difficulty creating real danger in the rival area. Although it has achieved some approximations, it has failed to disturb the goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga too much.

In the 39th minute, on the other hand, the local team was close to scoring the second goal, when Vladyslav Vanat fired, but Unai Simonmade a big stop to keep the score at 1-0.

In the end, Athletic went to rest with a disadvantage (1-0). 

In the second half, Valverde moved the bench and Amitchell and Guruzeta entered instead of Gorosabel and Navarro.

As soon as we started, the red-white team had a clear opportunity to draw, with a Aymeric Laporte auction, but the defense blocked the shot. Gorka Guruzetadropped the ball , but the striker's score was weak, sending it into the hands of Gazzaniga. 

Athletic has tried,  but Gazzaniga has reappeared in 62 to stop Laporte 's shot inside the area, while in 67 Guruzeta has head-topped a superb center of Mikel Jauregizar, but the doorman has responded with an excellent shot.

In the 78 minute, after an unfortunate move by Unai Simon, Azzedine Ounahi took advantage of a rechace, after Claudio Echeverri failed, to enter the2-0  . 

Tsygankov forgave the 3-0 , but Echeverri finally got it in the 92nd minute in a counter-attack with his opponent already delivered.
