Whoever wrote the script of this game is twisted, as if Shyamalan film they were, like the plot twists that leave one with the face of circumstances. But thought in the viewer, as Athletic Schalke 04 and have given us a ninety-minute show between two teams who did not want anything left over. Such a lofty Raul made a game in football, sacrifice, courage and goals, scoring two goals of his team, but the Athletic remains committed to endorse the Europe League, and scored four. Excessive punishment for a good Schalke, but Bilbao knew German withstanding the onslaught to finish the game and much of the tie in last fifteen minutes to remember.
From the beginning of the match saw both teams will not lead to the reservation and rushed toward the goals. However, as the minutes passed Schalke was taking over the party and Athletic could not find the way to go with the ball under control thanks to the good German pressure. So, put miners helmet and made the game be developed mostly in red and white field. Schalke's offensive triplet formed by Raul, Huntelaar who is completing a great season and Farfan, aided by the talented Draxler and two long-distance side as Uchida and Fuchs, put in check behind Bilbao, enduring the stake as best could.
But football is capricious, and Athletic, who sought out behind the counter looking for just the two carrileros, went down the right for an old acquaintance as Hildebrand fails when trying to gain Susaeta center, gift Llorente did not miss. It could have been a blow for Schalke was still better, but only two minutes later, Raul took Uchida center to mark the first stick the equalizer. The party was giddy giddy as its protagonists two teams, however, after the minutes of the meeting storm turned to see a higher Schalke shut the lions in their own field. Thus, a great freedom of movement Raul, inspiradísimo a year ago against Valencia in the Champions League, was close to scoring the same goal at the other pole.
The rest claimed two injured, one for each team. The goal Hildebrand, who is not a regular starter who lost goalkeeper Neuer way to Munich, left his post to Schober, while Ander Herrera Ibai entered. The second act began as a carbon copy of what is seen in the first, with a better and Athletic Schalke could not find the way. Gelsenkirchen team ever enjoyed a good header from Papadopoulos center, but was again Raúl, with a goal volley from the edge of the area, who announced his team. And was about to certify a splendid hattrick Vaseline that came out very little.
And who by now guess that the game would end 2-4 in favor of the lions? Who in their right mind would have bet on that? Well it did. Athletic won meters, assuming no good a result that was not bad in light of what is seen in the field, but could be better. First it was Llorente, again, head in a corner, and ten minutes later, De Marcos scored the third to the delight of the crowd shifted to the Veltins-Arena. Broke out then the chances for both teams: a big play that stopped Ibai Schober, a shot of Huntelaar to stick or a new opportunity to Raul, who scored but was Muniain after taking advantage of a great play on the right of Susaeta, one of the Best of the Basque club name although he is not so much.
And thus ended the match with a superb result for Athletic forcing the Schalke to score at least three goals in San Mames if you want to be in the semis. This victory will not be as remembered as Old Trafford, but has more merit: Schalke made things more difficult, with a star Raul at 35 years continues to increase his legend , scoring goals like that to mark a day in the Calderon, running his team like a youth who has to earn a place in the elite. But Leon advances: its roar is heard in every corner of Europe.
