It escapes no one that the outlook for Bilbao Athletic has been very serious for several months. The cubs do not raise their heads and seem doomed to descend. Now only a miracle could save them after their 0-1 defeat against Numancia. His situation is already limit when he finds himself in the last position, thirteen points from the permanence and only with six days to react. That is, they would have to win almost all of their remaining matches and hope that their rivals fail. Something that seems almost impossible.

REFEREE

Álex Pallarés made a firm commitment to the youth of Basconia for this match. Junior Bita has already been a regular holding the midfield in recent games. This time, he was accompanied in the eleven by Erlantz Palacín on the right side and Ibon Sánchez as midfielder. The latter for the first time starting in the second team. The Catalan coach also surprised by placing Unai Gómez -midfielder- on the left side despite having Raúl Chasco and Oier López on the bench, naturals in that position.
The experiment did not go wrong in the first half. Bilbao Athletic was able to match the forces of a Numancia that arrived in Lezama after six consecutive duels without knowing victory. The Numantinos tried to upset the rojiblanco subsidiary with the explosiveness of Iñigo Muñoz and Carrillo on the wings, but the full-backs complied well with a ballot that was expected to be complicated. The defense did not have those rude errors that have condemned them throughout the season. They were very fierce.
The visiting team only had a single chance in the first half in Carrillo’s boots that Padilla rejected for a corner with many reflexes. In addition, the reserves handled themselves well with the ball and they had two clear chances almost in a row. In the 24th minute, Jon Guruzeta left Izeta alone against the goalkeeper with a brilliant pass between the lines, but the striker defined poorly with his left foot and did not cause Ayesa too much trouble. Two minutes later, Malcom Adu Ares smashed the ball against the post in a corner after he touched a Numantino player.
However, the beginning of the second part was another song. Iñaki Bea seemed to mutate the 5-2-3 to a 4-4-2 and it took effect. His did not stop bombarding the rival area. Bonaldo had an option to score as soon as he left the locker room. In minute 52 they no longer forgave and Fernando Román scored a goal that put everything uphill for Bilbao Athletic. The cubs continued to suffer a lot in that section and Junior Bita was about to give the second to Rubén Mesa, but Padilla prevented him by getting big.
Bilbao Athletic improved as time went by and ended up on the heels of Numancia, turning completely into attack. The Sorianos were forced to crouch, while the subsidiary had possession and tried to cross their wall. I rarely got it. In fact, the most dangerous action was a rejection by Gorka Pérez that Gaizka Ayesa saved with a real save. In the final stretch, the rojiblancos stepped up the accelerator even more and Urko Izeta came very close to scoring on two occasions. He ran into the Navarrese goalkeeper again.
