A Guruzeta goal and Simon's stops have decided the derbi in San Mamés

Athletic has won 1-0 to Osasuna in the derbi played this afternoon in San Mamés thanks to a goal of Guruzeta and the excellent stops of Unai Simon, who has been able to leave one of the best strikers in the league, Ante Budimir, for nothing.

At the beginning of the match, the referee pointed out penalty after Lucas Torró touched the ball in the area with his hand in a corner drawn by the Athletic, but after reviewing it at the request of the VAR, he overturned the initial decision. In minute 9, Jauregizar stopped the counter-attack directed by Victor Muñoz by mistake and the midfielder Bermeotarra saw the yellow.

Soon after, in the 15th, the red-white team advanced on the scoreboard thanks to a goal of Guruzeta. The Donostiarra striker caught a rechace within the area and did not forgive Sergio Herrera. Nico Williams went inside and overtook the red defense and his shot was repelled by the Osasunist doorman, but he was able to do little in the Guruzeta auction.

In the 22nd minute, the dangerous shot of Ruiz de Galarreta was diverted to corner by the defenses of the Navarro team. In 34 came the first dangerous approach of Osasuna, but the center of Victor Muñoz after beating Gorosabel did not find a shooter.

Osasuna has had possession of the ball in the last quarter of the first half after dominating the red-whites in the first two quarters, but Lisci's team has found no loophole to reach Unai Simon's goal. Murgia's doorman has not had to make a stop before the break. The last serious warning has been from Athletic, a cross shot from Berenguer from within the area, after a ball.

On the way back from the locker room, Osasuna went out looking for the tie. A Budimir shot in the small area found no door in a corner from the right. However, in the same play the VAR called the referee, since Yeray touched the ball with his hand inside the area, and in the end the referee pointed the penalty.

In the 68 minute, Valverde's team advanced and had a double chance, Williams failed to finish off a good center of Gorosabel, and in the rechace Rober Navarro shook the ball with a volley, but Rosier diverted it to corner when he was on his way to the goal.

In '76, Budimir's superb header gave a perfect response to the red-white doorman. In the final leg of the second half, Lisci's have tightened even more in search of the tie. In addition, Jauregizar has seen the second yellow after a hard foul.

In the end, Valverde's team has won the fighting derbi, but the bad news for the red-whites has been the injuries of Laporte and Yuri .
