So the first leg of 3rd round of Europa League qualifying is in the books…and Athletic have fallen 1-0 to BSC Young Boys. This is a surprise- Athletic were considered favorites, plus they tend to do well at home. Here are my impressions from the game:

90+3:55: The Final whistle is blown. Athletic will go into the second leg at Wankdorf (take a moment to laugh at the name of BSC’s ground) down 0-1. I’ll be back with a wrap sometime later.

Today, Athletic and Iñigo Velez agreed to rescind the player’s contract,and Velez has moved on to Numancia. I saw this coming with the De Cerio signing,and, honestly, I don’t even know why we had signed him in the first place.
