Athletic and Mallorca the points are distributed in San Mamés | Soccer | Sports

Athletic and Mallorca tied in San Mamés; They stayed with a point each team and although visitors know Glory because they continue among the candidates for Europe, for the Bilbao it was not so bad, because in Bilbao it began from the eve to think more, and in these cases, any dismissal can be fatal in the league.

Zero draw is as honorable as anyone, no matter how much I piqué, trying to reinvent football after 180 years, want to suppress or punish it. The marker does not move, it was said in the past, when it was of tables or plates that were removed and put according to the result. No one born after the eighties remembers the simultaneous score, which reflected the results of all the games that were almost always played, at the same time and in which the tables constantly moved to the sway of the goals. In these modern times it would not even be allowed, because in one of its most strange norms, the League prohibits to announce the results of other games on the scoreboard, now that everyone sees them on their phone.

A zero draw can be a consequence of a bad game or an extraordinary one; of the inspiration of the goalkeepers or the lack of tino of the strikers. Of a perfect defense or the impericia of the two teams. The 0-0 of the break in San Mamés was more of the last, which is usually the worst of the variables: the Mallorca to see them coming and trying to fish what it fell into their networks, and the Athletic thinking more on Thursday, when he will receive Rome, which in the rival he had in front, with an alignment chosen to that effect, in which Galarreta and did not even appear in the call, Iñaki Williams waited on the bench and debuted as the headline the promising pello channels.

To an uninable zero draw, the San Mamés game was walking between one that he wanted, but he could not and another who wanted little, so the first part of San Mamés was the closest thing to a Peter Greenaway film, full of strange universes.

The first 45 minutes were indecipherable, on the way to that zero draw that was sniffed on the score almost before the start of the game. A couple of diverted shooting from Athletic, some backlash from Mallorca without conviction, and two goalkeepers, Unai Simón and Dominik Greif, unpublished. No one dominated the center of the countryside, Athletic did not attack as usual at home, so Mallorca was enough to play ordered back, project Mojica forward every time he wanted to attack, and throw balls to him to go down with snow or without her and become uncomfortable among the red and white centrals.

But that zero draw that was aligned with the arguments of Gerard Piqué and his spectacle football was broken in the first attack action of Mallorca in the second part, in a corner kick that forced the Jagoba razate team. He threw it with mastery Darder, and Ríllo, arriving from behind, headed in the penalty spot to advance the Mallorca, which at the first hit hard.

But in the sin the visiting team had the penance, because the goal spurred his rival and only two minutes later, a ball that Gorosabel focused from the right, finished off Nico Williams to tie.

The game changed totally, because the incisive Athletic returned, which always waits San Mamés. After the first half anodine, everything was different. They had already left the Iñaki Williams and Maroan countryside to refresh the attack, and Unai Gómez in midfield, pushed the Mallorca into their area. The visiting legs were no longer so fresh to go out to the opposite field, although Samu had a magnificent occasion after a pass back from Mojica, but Arrasate ordered theirs in defense, and the rush from the bands managed to neutralize the centrals. Actually, Greif either had much more work than in the first half. Athletic’s final arreón crashed into a well -planted rear. The Mallorca took a point with justice, and for the rojiblancos it was not so bad, because they are still there, in champions league stalls.
