A goal from Alex Berenguer in the halftime kick awarded with merit athletic Against Valencia at San MamésA game in which the Bilbao team achieved its first victory in Ernesto Valverde’s third season (1-0) on the bench.

Athletic played and had more chances to score, the Williams brothers did it even though they were both offside, but Valencia he also made his virtues and disposed of his opportunities.

Especially in the added part of the match, five minutes Overturned over the Unai Simón field and on the last day of the match, Marcos tied the ball with a terrific cross-kick from André.

Brazilian Sao Luis found no target and confirmed Berenguer’s targetIt’s a three-point left wing shot where Giorgi Mamardahsvili isn’t as solid as he should have been and put Athletic at the top of the table they wanted to be all season.

The defeat doesn’t diminish Gennaro Gatusso’s Valencia at all because it gave a good image and could draw a draw. after starting the season with a reassuring win at the table.

From the very beginning, both coaches maintained the notion that in addition to the image given, they were both very happy with their league debut, with Valverde’s feelings and Gatusso’s win.

red and white manager He chose ‘rock and roll’ again, bringing together Sancet and Muniain Williams’ youngest is in midfield, though he gave up Villalibre to include Nico. So the biggest, Iñaki, stepped forward at the point of attack.

And the Athletic came out furious again, having already made a few comebacks in the fifth, pushed through a few corners and even enjoyed a great chance. However, Berenguer smashed Muniain’s magnificent play, which led to 1-0 and Mamardashvili’s one-on-one body finish.

As if to reciprocate the appreciation he received for his last 500 games today, the Rojiblanco captain said, He made an excellent first half, constantly leading his team into the opposing territory.

But as lately, Athletic failed to translate its obvious superiority into targets.

Meanwhile, Valencia were slowly trying to level the game and even reach Simón’s court, despite Hugo Duro’s injury in the 16th minute. A place where Castillejo is not very good at shooting from the field, sending high with many possibilities.

They tried to harm Castillejo himself, Jesús Vázquez, and again Lino before Lino alerted the local defence.

Although it had nothing to do with the siege of Bilbao, which did not stop centering from the flanks and clearly demonstrated the lack of an accredited finisher in the field.

And when the match looked like it was going to end goalless, Berenguer used a ball from Vesga to get close to the edge and Mamardashvili with a low kick from the left that failed to catch the Georgian goalkeeper in good position.

Athletic still scored a second goal from injury, but it was clear when Williams almost finished off a loose ball as he wanted.

The start of the second half held the streak of the first half until four dangerous hits, three from Nico and one midfielder from Muniain. Nico’s third, accompanied by his brother and Muniain, was a region-to-region race and couldn’t find a good solution.

And as in the first half, Valencia managed to shake up local dominance at times to instill fear on Unai Simón’s court, but they didn’t have the ball. First a high shot from Paulista, then a outside kick from Castillejo.

Already in the last options against Athletic, Nico has a goal disallowed due to offsideto your brother’s centre. An Iñaki who has no more success than constantly threatening the opposing defense, who also percusses with his careers.

Already on sale, Marcos André took a double punch to the throat of local fans. First, with a title, to Foulquier’s center; and with a diagonal from the left in the last game of the match no one stopped him and he finished with a very low mid kick.
