Goals: 0-1. 39.
Juanfran. Picked up Costa's pass and beat Lafuente from right of goal. 1-1.
95. Yeste. Connected with square pass from Aduriz and shot wide of Gorka.
An injury time strike from
Yeste saved a point for Athletic Bilbao in their relegation battle with
Espanyol. The Basque side wasted a good chance to go ahead when they were
awarded a penalty ten minutes before the break after Gorka brought down Yeste,
but Aduriz slipped when taking the kick allowing the keeper an easy save. Four
minutes later Juanfran scored at the other end after Edu Costa set him up, and
it looked as if the Catalans were on their way to picking up three points when
Yeste struck. |
