Athletic and Girona compete in an exciting rivalry for the Champions League places in San Mamés. As it happened in the first leg (1-1), neither of them thought and both went out for victory from the first moment. Valverde’s men took the first step in the 2nd minute thanks to a good goal from the edge of Berenguer and were able to extend their advantage on several occasions.
Michel’s men became less and left the excessive desire of the first moments unproductive, with inappropriate losses and mistakes in Gironins. This became more evident at the start of the second period, where they came out in search of a goal hoping to try to seize the Bilbao fiefdom and be three points behind Real Madrid. The Ukrainian Tsygankov found it after a pass from the death of Iván Martín. Hopes lasted between little and none, as Berenguer capitalized on another mistake by the visitors to make it 2-1 in the 56th minute and Iñaki Williams did the same in the 60th minute.
