Real Valladolid let a victory slip away that they were already cherishing against an Athletic team that only had one shot on target, in the goal scored in a sad dead ball finish.
Hein: Demanded by Athletic, but because of the pressure, not so much with their offensive actions. He finished the game receiving only one shot between the three sticks: the tying one.
Luis Perez: Their first two additions, in the first half hour, were promising. Moro did not help him on the counterattack in which he appeared at the far post.
Juma: He forced Aguirrezabala to tap over a header from a corner. Within the team’s overall effort, he was the strongest of the defensive line.
Javi Sánchez: He provided the lions’ first opportunity with his lack of tension against Berenguer. Having Juma around was good for him, and vice versa.
Torres: Something rushed in some output, well resolved in the first instance, however. He committed the foul that ended up becoming Bilbao’s equalizer.
Lucas Rosa: He crashed the ball into Aguirrezabala’s body on the first big chance of the game. Bregador against Nico Williams managed to finish the match without suffering too much.
Raúl Moro: His center for Rosa was of many carats. Prados cut his promising run short near halftime. He touched the goal right after with a left footed shot. He was too selfish in the counter led by Marcos André. He made up for it with the goal that made it one to zero.
Juric: Very close to the centrals; sometimes, too much in a first half in which Pucela allowed spaces in the front, the only drawback in this regard. Good with the ball.
Kike Pérez: Sacrificed, he won duels and sought to give the team an outlet in the midfield. In the physical section he looked good, competitive. If anything, he made a mistake in the decision of that shot from outside that went high.
Anwar: A lot of wear and tear in defensive tasks. Although he also ran a lot looking for the area, he did not end up finding finishing situations.
Sylla: He was often an island, but even so, in a pressure race, he was on the verge of putting the goalkeeper in trouble. Unedifying work of yours.
They also played in Paulo Pezzolano’s ensemble:
Ivan Sanchez: In one of those counters with a certain advantage that the team launched, they got involved and did not put it well. He made up for it with the faith he put in the goal play.
Marcos André: He enabled Moro well in the transition in which he filled the ball. He does the same with Iván Sánchez to assist Moro.
Mario Martin: Recover the ball and restart the action from one to zero. He gave fresh legs in the center of the field, although he did not seem firm in the disputes.
Generous: He came in to refresh the wide zone at the end of the game.
Meseguer: Like Cömert, he came in looking to provide fresh legs at the end.
