Away Goals! (and bad stream links)

Well, Athletic are through to the next round of the Europa League thanks to the away goals rule. Unfortunately, I did not actually get to watch the match because I couldn’t find a working stream. The site I use to tell me when/where streams are on lied to me and told me ETB was showing it and they weren’t. Then the third non-ETB link that site had up wasn’t running. Before I get too off-topic, just know that this post will not have many details because I wasn’t actually able to watch the damn game.

Anyway, Llorente got the scoring started for Athletic in the 26th minute. It’s a shame I didn’t actually get to see the goal.

Then, Munian came on for Susaeta in the 69th minute, only to grab his first-ever goal for Athletic (at least in a competitive first-team match). Congrats to him from the fans! This kid’s definitely a player I’ll be keeping my eye on for the future. By the way, that’s his goal pictured above.

Young Boys managed to get a bit of consolation in the 91st, but it wasn’t enough. Thank you very much, away goals rule!

I am disappointed by this game though. My reasons: I wasn’t able to watch it (I’m not bitter, in case you’re wondering) and the fact that I will no longer be able to make Wankdorf jokes.Then again, I’m glad that I won’t have to read 10,000 articles about artificial grass whenever I look up news on Athletic.

Athletic’s lineup: Iraizoz, Iraola, Ocio, Amorebieta, Castillo; Susaeta (Muniain 70′), Javi Martínez, Yeste (Gurpegui 86′), Marcos (Orbaiz 80′); Toquero, and Llorente.

Unused subs: Armando, Koikili, Ustaritz, Etxeberria

Before it’s too late, let’s take one more opportunity to laugh at Wankdorf.

Wankdorf.

Wankdorf, with its artificial grass.
