Portugalete continues to give reason to believe that they are the absolute favorites to win the Basque Third Federation group and go directly up the category. The jarrilleros faced a demanding test against a higher category Bilbao Athletic that also opts to be among the main candidates for promotion in their league. Well, the local team gave the surprise against the green of La Florida and beat the rojiblanco subsidiary 2-0.
The result was also a faithful reflection of what happened. Portugalete was superior to the squad led by Carlos Gurpegi and showed very good feelings. Unlike Bilbao Athletic, which was not, far from it, what was expected of him. He hardly had any opportunities to score, while Gastesi did have to make two very good saves in the second half.
Josu Juste opened the scoring after 18 minutes of play with a cross shot that Gastesi managed to touch, without preventing him from slipping inside. It wasn’t until the final stretch when David Nates sealed the game, culminating in a great combinative play by the Portuguese. The only negative news of the match was the injury to Unai Llorente, the local goalkeeper, who left the field of play after 81 minutes when he had left at half-time.
