Victoria relatively comfortable, the one who achieved the Athletic of Madrid this Saturday against the Sportive Alavés in Wanda Metropolitan (3-0), thanks to the goals of Kalinic in the first part, and Antoine Griezmann and Rodri Hernández in the second. The 'colchoneros' knew to defend with nails and teeth, as of habit, and took advantage of the eases of the Basques in his area.

The Alavés of the 'Pitu' Abelardo was not too fine to the hour to defend , and conceded too many spaces to the Athletic of Madrid, so much in static as to the contragolpe. The Alavés had the first clear occasion of the party, in the boots of Ibai Gómez, but the ex of the Athletic the desaprovechó and, hardly some minutes afterwards, Kalinic would achieve to open the marker.

In any case, the Athletic begins to leave clear that it is one of the big candidates, beside the Barcelona, to struggle by the domestic title.
