The Athletic dismisses the season with defeat and with a great whistle of his hobby

[Juppitèr]

The rojiblanco team has lost 0-1 against Espanyol in San Mamés. It was the last game of Ziganda as coach of Athletic.

The Athletic Club and RCD Espanyol ended the season Sunday in San Mamés with short but clear victory for the team parakeet (0-1) , who was thrashing and great blast to Bilbao, which after a disappointing season ended more than the campaign the height of your worst days of the course. 

The painful spectacle offered by Athletic, its worst games in a campaign with many very bad, was punished with the final sixteenth place in the table, the worst in its history. In football, the farewell of José Ángel Ziganda as a coachHe was at the height of the rest of the course and San Mamés sanctioned it with a tremendous final whistle of two minutes. The disapproval of the stands was heard by the red-and-white players in midfield and applauding their fans, although the whistles increased when they went to the changing rooms. 

After an attack by Lekue on the left wing, Espanyol opened the scoring with a corner goal. Piatti put the ball from the corner and David Lopez, absolutely alone at the edge of the small area, nodding so hard that Kepa could only clear inwards. The collision fell asleep with some arrival, but without danger, on the visiting area, until a high forced shot from Aduriz, after controlling a good center of Muniain, opened a few minutes with more chances. Muniain hooked from the front a shot that sent to corner Diego Lopez, Williams combed a corner by Beñat dribbled and Aduriz could do little more than finish off as was a Lekue center. Across the field, Gerard Moreno had the 0-2 in his boots after a great play on the right of Baptistao, but Unai Núñez crossed to block the auction; and a horizontal slalom of Sergio García threatened to put Kepa in trouble.

Once again, he did not finish happy with the performance of his team in the first half. And less was with the first half of the second, in which Espanyol stroked up to five times 0-2. Three times in plays of Baptitao badly finished and another two of Sergio García, more intentional in the definition. Very clear a Brazilian pouring on the right wing in which any of the two teammates who were alone in the area could make empty door markings. But he served the ball very late to Gerard, who could not finish. Also very clear against the Brazilian also after a local corner with which he stood alone against Kepa. Although it fell in the area after a brush with Córdoba out of it. Sergio was very focused shot from the front after receiving a pass filtered between the central;

A shot by Lekue to the side gave Athletic some air and opened the last quarter of an hour, in which Gerard did not go well with Vaseline either. On that occasion from a distance and with Kepa ahead. Aduriz insisted on the side of the net in a play sanctioned with offside and Kepa this time was well placed to avoid a clear goal by Melendo in a great play 'periquita'. Espanyol was not successful, Athletic was not there and the thing was in the adjusted 0-1 that did not reward enough to the parakeets or punishment what they deserved to the lions.
