Athletic does not go from a draw to zero at Levante’s home (0-0)

Athletic Club and Levante They opened this Friday the fourteenth day of LaLiga Santander with a goalless draw at the Ciutat de València (0-0), a result that moves away from the European train for the people of Bilbao and that makes those of Javier Pereirto continue without adding their first victory of the course.

Neither granotas nor rojiblancos, who faced the national team break with a league defeat, were excessively ambitious in a match without great chances and little fluid, perhaps also motivated by the flooded state of the grass.

Two headshots of Iñigo Martinez and of fruits unleashed hostilities at Orriols, where Bardhi claimed a penalty before the quarter hour for a foul in the area that Munuera Montero and the VAR did not consider punishable. The referee also did not decree the maximum penalty in a possible elbow of Bell upon Yeray at 20 minutes.

With the rain raining down, the injuries of Malsa and of Asier Villalibre scored a second half in which the scoreboard did not move, although Unai Simon had to show off within a shot of of fruits from within the area. Athletic’s response came through a great individual play Nico Williams to which the local goal responded well CardenasIn the final stretch of the game, the ineffectiveness of the two teams was joined by heavy rain, which flooded almost the entire pitch until it was practically impractical.

With this, those of Marcelino Garcia Toral they remain seventh (19), one point behind the continental positions, while the Levantinists (7) are penultimate to four units from salvation.
