0-1 Narration and statistics
This
Cádiz CF
is exactly what was expected of it.
He rose last year from a very conservative proposal, based on his defensive solidity, and this is how he behaves also now that he has reached the elite.
Even in such complicated contexts as the one he experienced this Thursday in
San Mamés
.
He was left with 10 players just after the break and, despite the handicap, managed to get ahead on the scoreboard.
Then with nine, with 20 minutes still ahead, and he knew how to keep his advantage to take all three points in an admirable endurance exercise.
Of course, this iron Cadiz found the generous collaboration of a very sad
Athletic
to complete his little feat.
After his good second half in Eibar that allowed him to add his first victory,
Asier Garitano's team
returned to its most common adjectives in recent times: slow, predictable, hesitant, lacking in quality and punch ...
Perhaps Athletic did not deserve to lose -
Iñaki Williams
crashed a header into the post, as the clearest occasion - but it does not mask the intolerableness of the result against a recently promoted player who played so long at a disadvantage.
Locked up in your area
And it is that, after an insufferable first part, the expulsion of
Carlos Akapo
in 48 seemed to put the duel on track for the Biscayan team.
What happened, however, was that
Unai López
got the ball into his own goal after
Choco Lozano
took the colors out of
Unai Núñez
.
From there, Cádiz locked themselves in their area, even more so after
Álvaro Negredo
saw his second yellow in 70, nine minutes after entering the field.
It was hardly noticed that Athletic had two more players on the pitch, which speaks as badly of the rojiblancos as it does of their rivals.
In the other game in the afternoon,
Sevilla
managed to defeat
Levante
in discount thanks to a goal from
Youssef En Nesyri
.
Previously, the VAR had canceled another by
Munir El Haddadi
, who could not celebrate his call with Morocco with a goal.
