Athletic Bilbao stay in the
bottom three after losing 0-2 to Gimnàstic, who move off the foot of the
table as a result. Yeste went close a couple of times as the locals dominated
the opening minutes. But Rubén Castro turned a shot just wide of the
post, and ten minutes before the interval Pinilla found Portillo for him to
beat Aranzubia and open the scoring.
Bizzarri had to be at his
best to save from Sarriegui a couple of minutes after the restart, and eight
minutes later Nàstic were left with ten men when Mingo picked up a
second booking. Aduriz had a goal disallowed for a previous foul on the keeper,
but the visitors caught out their hosts with a second goal on a rare foray over
the halfway line, Pinilla having the easiest of headers on the far post after
Aranzubia misjudged Calvo's cross.
Mané threw on a third
striker, but even then they could not find the route to goal, and the
disgruntled fans gave their players a hard time as they left the field at the
end of the game. |
