Bilbao Athletic does not react

Bilbao Athletic’s crisis worsens. The red and white reserve team conceded its fourth consecutive defeat against Osasuna Promesas (0-1). The same symptoms of concern were repeated in the puppies, who were not inferior, but who once again showed serious defensive weakness and lack of determination in front of the opposing goal. Of course, if he wants to leave the penultimate position he currently occupies, he must improve a lot in the areas.

It started out as a very open match, with some approaches on both sides. Although, when only nine minutes of play had elapsed, there was a referee decision that caused a certain ‘run run’ in the stands for the next few minutes and even sneaked into the conversations of many of those present, once the match had concluded. And no one understood why the referee annulled a great goal by the entire squad from a direct free kick by Peio Canales from the edge of the area. It seems that it was because Asier Hierro embedded himself in the barrier.

The dominance was very divided and was in sections in the first half. At first, Bilbao Athletic was a little more motivated and was able to open the scoring with a good shot from Olabarrieta, which just missed the post. Then the redillos pushed much harder. Almost after the first half hour of the match, Carlos Lumberas crashed the ball against the crossbar in a play poorly defended by the cubs. Just four minutes later, Arroyo stood alone against Santos, but he was not correct in the definition, sparing the life of the local team, which continues to suffer too much defensively. They made him dangerous in practically every corner.

Everything would get complicated for the rojiblancos at the beginning of the second half, since Lumbreras opened the scoring by getting a rebound from a previous shot by Huarte. Bilbao Athletic asked for a handball when the winger lowered the ball. It was in the action after Duñabeitia narrowly finished off a header from a corner kick. Lezama’s men reacted immediately, with Rego and Varela having clear chances shortly after. Aguilar also got excited and hit the ball against the crossbar. They looked for the score with insistence throughout the second half, with Adrián Pérez who left good sparks in his debut with the reserve team, but they were once again condemned by their lack of punch.
