Barakaldo is equal to all Bilbao Athletic

Complicated test that Barakaldo experienced in Lasesarre. The manufacturing team faced each other with a whole Bilbao Athletic, with the ambition of showing that its roof is far beyond the Third Federation. Once again, he again showed his potential and his good work on the pitch. The locals were able to stand up to the ‘puppies’ and sign the tables (2-2) against a team that plays two categories above. It is true that some of the most recognizable faces of the Atletico subsidiary were not present, but many others were and they failed to beat the Gualnegros in a duel with much more intensity than a friendly usually presents.

The factory team, accustomed to bearing all the weight of the matches in its category, had a rival in front of them that did not make it easy for them in this regard. A Bilbao Athletic that plays the same. Try to be dominant with the ball and always look ahead. In this area, the difference in levels was noticeable in the first part and it was the rojiblanco subsidiary who led the baton most of the time. The gualnegros quickly adapted to this script and tried to hurt their rival with shipments to the back of the opposing defense. In this way, it was possible to witness an even match, where Imanol de la Sota’s pupils measured their strength in a different context.

The chances were counted with droppers. During the first stages of the match, the second Bilbao team could not cross the factory wall and the only signs of opening the scoreboard were signed by Jon Cabo, with a frustrated lob that Gorka Campo stopped and with a goal disallowed for offside. However, who ended up opening the can was Barakaldo. Torre put in a cross from the left side of the box that found Isukiza’s head uncontested. Gordexola’s did not fail and he opened the can. In any case, the joy of the Baracaldeses did not last long. Just two minutes later, Jon Cabo was able to score after so much insistence, finishing off an empty goal after a lateral pass from Vélez.

The locals were close to going ahead at the break, but a save from Ispizua to Cortezón and the crossbar in the rebound that Arieta caught prevented it. After the break, the millers stepped up and faced the puppies at their game. The goals seemed forced to score them in a row. After 56 minutes of play, Aritz Pascual scored for Bingen Arostegi’s team with a very showy scissor goal, again to the center of Vélez, and only four minutes elapsed until Barakaldo returned to establish the tables. Urki Txoperena found the ball in the area as a result of a throw-in and did not fail finishing off with the first touch.
