Three years later, the Basque derby was txuri urdin

One of the good news that brought the rise of the Royal Society for the Liga was the reunion in the top flight with his main enemy Basque, Athletic de Bilbao. Without the championship donostiarras lacked one of the most exciting derbies throughout history, and almost four years later, he regained Anoeta party atmosphere for excellence in Euskadi. Moreover, he did great and at a stage dressed in their finery.

A historic rivalry that contrasts with the friendliness between the two fans (to show the image illustrating this post), an example of sportsmanship absent in other classics. This time and Zarra, or scorer, or Arconada, and Kovacevic and Warrior contest, but at stake was more than three points. The fight Donosti theoretically save the category. Los de Bilbao, Europe. After the derby, Real are in positions of Europe and the Athletic League, eleventh, three points.

And is that the beginning of Martin Lasarte as being dreamed. Because after fourteen days to occupy positions of privilege invites further thinking. So far, half salvation is already in his pocket. The Joaquin Caparros can not complain either, because at the end of the season is more than likely be in the race for European places, despite the thud of the day.

The derby, with the addition of equality in the standings, also had the duel between rams of the same name (Llorente), another stimulus. But neither Joseph nor Fernando were the protagonists. Yes defender Mikel San José, which caused the penalty, with a clear handball in the area, the 1-0, and scored in the second txuri urdin own. It was possibly the worst performance since I saw the defender red and white sheepskin.

So, he opened the can from the spot Xabi Prieto, who had to repeat the launch of the maximum penalty for making 'paradinha' in the first (and successful) attempt. And again the '10 'star-white was the second goal, and in the second half. His cross from the right flank was topped by San Jose involuntarily in the final 2-0 to give the three points to a Royal Society three years later gave their fans a victory in the derby and, as it should be, at first. Last.
