Bilbao Athletic lost yesterday in its visit to Salamanca. The pups got a chance to see the rigors of competing in what is now known as the First Federation. The dead ball reached them.
The match did not start well for Jokin Aranbarri’s team, as Olabarrieta, the scorer of the winning goal on the first day against Andorra in Lezama, had to be replaced in the fifth minute. Buján took his place and the rojiblancos took the lead midway through the first half with a fine goal from Ibon Sánchez.
Far from giving up, under a heavy downpour, the Unionistas continued to step on the accelerator against a Bilbao Athletic that was not good in its strategy. Pau Martínez, who had a chance before, equalized before the break and De la Nava and Ebro, with an own goal, made it 3-1.
The rojiblancos strengthened their attack, managing to reduce the gap at the end of the 90th minute Bilbao’s reaction, although it did not stop trying, did not continue.
