Anne Azkonain the 11th minute, and Pekein 63, they scored the goals for the rojiblanco team, and Carmen Sobron, in the 66th minute, scored the goal for the Navarrese team. The derby has had a lot of rhythm and a great atmosphere; Osasuna has hit the post or the crossbar four times in the first half.
Kakun Mainz and Iraia Iturregi, the coaches of both teams, have tried to take advantage of their resources during the match. Osasuna, supported by his public in a Tajonar packed to the brim, has made a spectacular physical waste, which he has accompanied with depth and speed when looking for the Athletic goal; The Biscayans, for their part, have sought to put some pause in the game, and have come out with speed when they have been able to try. This is how they have scored their two goals, in two quick counterattacks; In addition, when Osasuna scored 1-2, the Bilbao team knew how to increase their pressure, and managed to get to the end of the game with a favorable score.
Osasuna has dominated in the first half, and has created more dangerous plays than Athletic, but it was Iraia Iturregi’s team that went ahead at half-time. Mariasun Quiñones, however, has gone through more trouble than Maitane; The goalkeeper from Gipuzkoa for the Bilbao team has seen up to four shots from Kakun Mainz crash into the posts or the crossbar of her goal.
The first of them arrived in the tenth minute, thanks to a good left-footed shot from Maite Valero, which hit the crossbar; immediately afterwards, a skilful through ball sent from Athletic’s midfield has left Anne Azkona alone before the local goalkeeper, and the forward from Iruindarra has not missed the opportunity to put her team ahead.
Osasuna has not given up: Maitane Vilariño, at minutes 16 and 35, after two corner kicks, threw the ball into the woodwork, and immediately afterwards, again Valero, headed the crosshead. After Vilariño’s second shot at the wood, Athletic’s defense, in the rebound, has taken the ball when the equalizing goal was already being sung.
Athletic has tried to establish itself in defense and seek speed in attack, as it has done in the play of the goal, but it has found many difficulties to be able to do so, given the pressure from Osasuna and the good performance of the local midfield.
The first minutes of the second half have been matched; Osasuna had the initiative, but it seemed that Athletic was more comfortable than until the intermission. After the first quarter of an hour, Azkona skilfully launched a pass into the hole to Peke, and Arrigorriaga’s striker, with a precise left foot shot, made it 0-2. There were still many minutes to go, and Osasuna quickly found the prize they had previously deserved, that of the goal; has materialized it Carmen Sobron, with a strong shot, after an intelligent cross from Iara from the right. Quiñones, who has responded with great confidence in various actions of the tie, has not been successful on that occasion, led by two players who had just jumped onto the field of play.
