It is not that they were the heroes, since those who score the goals of a home win against a bottom player do not deserve such a high distinction, although perhaps

Gaizka Garitano

does consider them as such.

At the end of the day, the Athletic coach was once again losing his time on the San Mamés bench, a threat that he has been resisting for many weeks, dancing on a fine wire, always achieving the defibrillating victory when the scythe already looks sharp.

[Narration and statistics (2-0)]

And it seemed that the visit of Huesca to the 'Cathedral' could suppose that final point that seems inevitable but that never finishes arriving.

The Huescans never gave the sensation of being able to take all three points, but Athletic's inability to score a single goal was unbearable and allowed the massive boos from San Mamés to be heard as if they had been full.

This is how things were, with Garitano muttering if the end was about to come he would enjoy an extension, when

Kenan Kodro

called attention to him.

Pulido committed a penalty on him and, in the absence of

Iker Munian

,

Iñaki Williams

and

Raúl García

, he decided to catch the ball to shoot it.

Fallen from scaffolding

He, who had only played 12 miserable minutes in this league, who constantly listens to Garitano's complaints about his lack of forwards, was the savior.

In the center, waiting for the goalkeeper to win, with the security of someone who does not speculate before an opportunity because he may not have another.

And then Huesca, four in 90, fell from the scaffolding on which it had been installed.

The ability to react no longer existed, more for a mental than physical issue and because the penalty had the double punishment of the expulsion of

Jorge Pulido

, its captain.

The Huescas surrendered to their unwanted outcome, from the bottom of Garitano's closet another footballer emerged cornered to guarantee the continuity of the coach.

Unai Núñez

, who begged for a loan to get him out of the huge wake of

Yeray Álvarez

(down this Friday) and

Iñigo Martínez

, resolved in a corner an ugly match, in which Athletic did not improve, he seemed to be as stuck as he was, but in which he added a victory that guarantees a Christmas with work for Garitano.
