Summary of the match Rayo Vallecano – Athletic Club
Without a clear dominator in a duel of more intensity than showy play, Athletic’s intention was to go out for the game in search of a reaction. He found in his sides the way to generate danger with the rises of Lekuethe impetus of Nico Williams and the appearances of Berenguer. She missed the hit Guruzeta in the auction in the two that he had in the first act.
All the local danger was born from Isi. After a deflected shot, he used strategy in a lateral free kick that he finished off with a Camel toe caressing the post.
Isi’s importance extended to both areas when he saved Athletic’s goal by diving into a plank, in a corner kick hit the near post by Guruzeta, before Dimitrievski made the save of the game.
Fran García’s insistence on his side ended in a left-footed shot from nowhere by Álvaro, crossed, that only the post prevented him from taking the goal prize.
In the second half the fear of losing prevailed. A failure seemed decisive in case of taking advantage of it. A gift from Mumin was missed by Berenguer, crashing his shot into the side of the net.
Iraola’s men launched for the win, but Trejo did not specify his cross shot in his last contribution before Raúl de Tomás increased his offensive presence.
Agirrezabala’s decisive save, eight from the end, with a firm mitt full of reflexes to RDT’s heel, deflecting a shot from Álvaro. With more doubts he took a long shot from the same protagonist before the equality of the game was left in the left boot of Nico Williams. He appeared to space, with everything to score, but his shot was deflected off the crossbar.
