Today is the Basque Derby, with both teams needing point to give some breathing room from relegation. Plus, Erreala is jealous because we are the Basque flagship
Re: Basque Derby: Athletic Bilbao v. Real Sociedad[R] http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=169132&cc=5901 After Aranzubia gets sent off, Erreala score 3 to come back and win. Unbelievable, really. Up two in Donostia and I thought Athletic were home free. Even though playing down a man, we should have bunkered down and played all defense.
Re: Basque Derby: Athletic Bilbao v. Real Sociedad[R] It's tough, i would have love to have seen this one as it sounds like it was a great game. Any insights on the performances by the players?
Sounded like a great game. Osasuna has 4 pts. in Basque derbies (Sociedad 3, Bilbao 1) and is highest in the table, though. Of course, Osasuna was at home to Bilbao and Sociedad, so they'll probably lose out on the away legs. Hope all three can stay up and Eibar and Alaves win promotion. 5 Basque sides! That would be impressive! Quango
What a comeback by Sociedad.... The goal from Urzáiz I thought would settle the match for Athletic. But what a second half comeback by Sociedad. Nihat did good.
