The match played yesterday afternoon at the Ibarra field was of high intensity. In the first half, both teams had scoring opportunities, but the scoreboard remained at zero until halftime. However, the excitement escalated in the second half.
The opponents took the lead with a shot from outside the box, which caused some disarray in the home team. Nevertheless, UDA Aretxabaleta reacted quickly, and Ander Fernandez Pacheco scored the equalizer after an excellent cross from the right wing by Aimar Madina.
At that moment, UDA Aretxabaleta appeared stronger, but an unexpected play led to the expulsion of Josu Aizpurua, leaving the team with one less player. In this situation, the hosts focused their efforts on defense and continued to create danger on the counter-attack. They earned a penalty, the second of the match, and Fernandez Pacheco scored again, setting the final 2-1. With this result, the match concluded.
