Athletic and Eibar shared the points yesterday in the second match of group B of the XIII Euskal Herria Kopa. The lions took the lead in the 87th minute through Landaluze, but Andrea Álvarez sealed the draw in the 92nd. 0 on the first day.
Equality was the dominant tone in this match where scoring chances were quite conspicuous in their absence. The locals tried to take the initiative against a rival who knows how to maintain order in defense and tried to speed up their attacking options in set pieces. Amaia Peña, the Athletic goalkeeper who is on loan again to Eibar, was well supported at all times. The clearest opportunities for locals also come in strategic actions.
David Aznar started with Quiñones, Sara Ortega, Landaluze, Maddi, Eunate, Itxaso, Zubieta, Azkona, Yulema Corres, Nerea Nevado and Sanadri. In the second half, Nanclares, Amezaga, Arana, Gara, Pinedo, Mariana and Peke also had minutes.
Date Sunday
Athletic will face Osasuna next Sunday, starting at 12:00, in Mendigorria. The Bilbao men must crush the Navarrese to seal their passage to the final on September 3.
Group A of this tournament consists of Bizkerre, Alavés and Real. Getxotarras and Gasteiztarras were goalless in the first match.
