The Athletic Club lost 1-2 to the Villarreal this Sunday in the match corresponding to the 31st day of the EA Sports Leagueplayed in San Mamés. The red-whites have been unable to turn around the two goals received in the first half and, although the Guruzeta shortened distances , they have lost.
Both teams have started to live the game , with very vertical plays to reach the area as quickly as possible, so in the first few minutes Villarreal had two chances, followed by Athletic.
The red-whites have been well positioned on the field, making plays and quickly recovering when they lost the ball. Yuri has had the first clear opportunity of the locals, who have surprised their rivals with a distant right, but hisshot has gone out.
Oluwaseyi got a deep pass and reached the area. Cardona came all alone to the second stick and hit the center to score (0-1) .
Athletic has not been intimidated and has continued to attack, while Yuri has tied a good left-handed, volleying, but he has hit the defense and gone outside.
On the other hand, Laporte took a heavy blow to the head against Gerard Moreno.
Before going to rest, Alfonso Gonzales has increased the advantage of the Villarreal. Lekue has fallen asleep with the ball and Gonzales has stolen it, taken it to the door and scored (0-2).
Guruzetahad his first chance in the second half, but again the defense was an obstacle and the ball went over the long line. Laportealso had a good chance of goal in a corner, but his head went through the middle.
The changes were necessary and Valverde has put Gorosabel, Berenguer, Navarro and Rego into the field looking for freshness, but the Villarreal was well positioned around his area and the red-whites have been scarce in the last few meters.
It has cost the Athletic and at many times the third goal of the rivals has been closer than the first of the locals, but in the end the goal has come that they have been looking for and looking for. Yuri has put the center from the left and Guruzeta has sent the ball to the net (1-2) .
In the last few minutes they have tried to draw at least, but what has come is the third goal of the Villarreal , which the referee has invalidated for the offside. At the last moment they have asked for penalty when Laporte has fallen into the area, but the referee has not indicated anything and Athletic has run out of points.
