All square in the local
derby between Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna, the match ending 0-0 on a day when
the intense heat in the San Mamés stadium was the main protagonist. With
only one minute on the clock youth international Azpilicueta tested Athletic's
new keeper Gorka Iraizoz, and his opposite number Ricardo did well to keep out
Etxeberría on the quarter hour mark.
But after that chances were
few and far between, and it was not until late in the second half that David
López fired a shot just wide, and young substitute Jon Vélez
almost beat Ricardo with a back-heel flick. Athletic ended with ten men after
the returning Aitor Ocio picked up a second booking near the final whistle, but
by then both sides were happy to start the new campaign with a point.
