Guruzeta gave the only positive note

Everything went wrong except one thing. The goal scored by Gorka Guruzeta in the last game of the first half that gave Athletic life in the second, particularly until Jonny Cardoso put the final 3-1 on the scoreboard.

The San Sebastian striker finished a superb header into the nets of Rui Silva kicked a corner Alex Berenguer. Seven minutes of added time had passed and the match had many things: the goal of Chimy Avila after a great center Willian Josewho scored his own goal Yuri Berchichethe expulsion of Nico Williams after seeing a double yellow card, the second for applauding the referee Cuadra Fernandezand the muscle injury of the Zarautz player, who had to leave the field of play replaced by Imanol García de Albéniz.

In this way, the player from San Sebastián stands alone as the top scorer for the red and white team with eleven goals, one more than those scored by Inaki Williams, thus removing the “thorn” he admitted to the media in Lezama on Thursday, scoring away from home. Until yesterday, nine of his ten goals were in San Mamés. I only saw one goal at home in El Sadar on the second day of the League.

His goal allowed Athletic to at least dream of a tie despite struggling to play one down for the entire second half. Inaki Williamsa substitute yesterday who was thinking about Thursday’s match against Atlético that could lead to a new Cup final, came out after the break and shortly after Valverde tried to get the game into a rhythm entering the First Gómez through Ruiz de Galarretabut the American soccer player scores 3-1 and then the chances of achieving a positive result are at the mercy of a real miracle.

Dani Garcia He also entered the playing field, took over Beñat Prados. In this way, Txingurri gave rest to the Navarrese and Eibartarrans, thinking of the battle against the colchoneros. The Zumarraga midfielder has not played since last November 10, when he was relieved Mikel Vesga during Celta’s visit to San Mamés. He first played as a midfielder and then as a center back when Paredes left the field to avoid seeing the fifth card and caused him to drop out against Barça as They lived and Nico Williams.

The same can be said of Imanol. The Gallarta side has not played since October 29, when Valencia visited San Mamés. His poor performance in that match kept him ostracized. Txingurri praised the work he did in Seville. “Imanol It’s been great, it’s progressed. Dani could help us in the middle and when they made us third I thought it would be better to switch Walls and he has played as a center back,” explained the coach.
