Prick of an Athletic that begins the League with bad foot (1-1)

Vicente Calderón was not this time a fortín infranqueable as it has us accustomed the Athletic of Madrid of the "Cholo" Simeone. The group colchonero left to escape this Sunday the first points of the season home against a recently risen, the Alavés (1-1), in the first day of the League Santander 2016-17.

The Basque group went out directly to shut in his own field and to look for some that another occasion of counterattack, what supposed an almost total command of the Athletic of Madrid along the ninety minutes. Said command, however, fructificó in some opportunities of goal that the team did not attain to materialise, having to annotate his only target from the penalty spot.

Fernando Torres was demolished of doubtful form in the interior of the area and Kevin Gameiro was the attendant to launch the maximum penalty, transforming the goal and premièring in League with the T-shirt rojiblanca. But when the Madrilenian already presaged the victory, an escopetazo of Manu García from 30 metres finish colándose in the goal, being possibly the goal of the day.

The target served so that the Alavés arañara a point in the minute 94 of his visit to Vicente Calderón, against an Athletic to the that was missing him Griezmann, but that with Gameiro, Correa, Carrasco, Gaitán, Koke, Torres and company was not able to send more balloons at the end of the meshes. Badly beginning of League for the Athletic, that already is by behind Barça and Real Madrid in the classification, after the victory of the whites in front of the Real Sociedad.
