Athletic started in just 10 minutes scoring two goals, and Iker Martínez Javi Muniain, but once he managed to catch up Iván Bolado, the home team spent some trouble. With this victory, the team placed in Bilbao, European seats awaiting the end of the day, while Santander has been weakened its lead over the relegation places by the victories of Zaragoza and Sporting.

The shock has been back and forth during several phases, although the Athletic better at the beginning and end of the first half and the upper Racing midway through the first half and a second time when it was unceremoniously by the tie. Especially since Miguel Angel Portugal keeps its own in the 3-4-1-2 with the entry of Ariel after both Ivan Bolado.

One of the relevant circumstances of the crash was a neck injury of Fernando Llorente before the break. Its absence in the second half was about to pay his team, which was very weak without him in the set pieces, especially in their own area. Racing Athletic knocked the scoring in his first two arrivals with danger.

In the 2-0, Toquero demonstrated its foresight accredited and when to focus. This time he gave the ball back to Muniain for the young Navarre burst the ball in his first goal of the course.

Although ceased goals, succeed in the succession of chances in the first half, which was very sore Llorente in the neck after a foul on the edge of the area seven minutes before. First, Athletic grazed in Llorente's header went wide when it seemed that entered Toño goal, also center David Lee, and another of Toquero served by Koi qaue stopped the visitors goal.

Then, Racing almost caught up in three actions in succession almost half an hour. The most obvious one that it was high after dribble Munitis Iraizoz and with two defenders in goal, the most spectacular, a strong shot from distance by Kennedy in 'dry folha' which crashed off the crossbar, and the most unexpected A shot from the front, heel, Rosenberg difficulties that cleared the goalkeeper.

Racing ambitious left in the second half and already warned of their intentions with a corner of bad Kenendy topped by Henrique, only the small area. Did not stop all Spaniard, who insisted Rosenberg and Ivan Bolado. The Swede sent on its side a first shot and then missed his umpteenth hand in hand with the goalkeeper in the first error today's game at San Mames debutant Borja Ekiz.

The Spaniard, who entered the game time, topped only twice from set pieces paths almost straight. The first was sent out and the second to the network.
