The Athletic Club won 0-2against the Celtic   this Sunday in Alaidos the match corresponding to the 3rd day of the EA Sports League . With a spectacular first half and goalsfrom Berenguer and Navarro, the lions have been far superior to their rival and have won their first win of the season.

The game started at a low pace, with both teams taking positions, so the first chance came with a distant shot from Galarreta that went off near the post.

Soon after, the Celtic had a great opportunity to advance on thescoreboard, when Jutgla stood alone  in front of Unai Simon, but the Basque doorman held out well to stop the ball and avoid the goal.

Sancet also made a big move into the area, but the ball stayed long and Radu closed the shot, then Laporte finished off a corner too high.

In the 20th minute, Berenguer took the ball into the area and, without rushing, placed it on the second stick, impossible for the doorman, scoring a spectacular goal (0-1) .

And in the next play, the collective play between Iñaki Williams, Galarreta and Navarrohas ended with the goal of the latter (0-2)

Athletic has continued to do a lot of damage to the standing ball and has been strong in attack, while the Galician team has struggled to stay with the ball.

Giralde made four changes after the break to try to change the game script; and in the first few minutes the Celtic put the Basques in their area.

Athletic responded quickly with a backlash that ended with a shot from Sancet that went high when it looked like a clear goal.

Terzic has made a triple change to refresh his team: Jauregizar, Canales and Guruzeta Galarreta instead of Sancet and Iñaki.

By then, Athletic was well positioned in the field and has managed to stop the initial push of the Celtic. For the rest of the minutes there has not been much play, with the ball and without it he has been very good with Athletic, who has been able to defend every attempt of his opponent.

Nico had the last clear chance of the game with a cross shot that went outside, so the Biscayan team got their first win and first points of the season.
