Oihan Sancet, of penalty, and Nico Williams, in the final stretch of the match, kept alive with the two goals that defeated the Glasgow Rangers in San Mamés the double dream of the Athletic to be in the final the European League, on May 21 also in ‘The Cathedral’, and also achieve the first European title in its history. After getting rid tonight of a Scottish team that sold his defeat, the only obstacle that Athletic has left to be in the final will be the semifinal before the winner of the Lyon-Manchester United tie, with the first leg in Bilbao. To be seen in that last step of the European tournament, the Basque team sweated to bend a better rangers in the defensive facet than in the offensive and that ended up closing before the two rediblancas stars. Although the best player of the game was Maroan Sannadi, who four months ago was in First RFEF. Lee also Sancet opened the scoring in the last minute of the first half transforming with authority a penalty of John Suottar to Maroan Sannadi and Nico put the 2-0 finishing in the 80th minute, in the second stick and impeccable header, a center of the Captain Oscar de Marcos. Without Iñaki Williams, without fully recovering from the muscular overload that made doubt, Athletic started with the intention of giving control of the game and percussing from the beginning on Kelly’s goal. Although the Rangers was not amilated, which also stretched when he could and threatened the first occasion in a frank blow from the front that went very high to Tavernier. Oihan Sancet this Thursday in San Mamés Ander Gillenea / AFP soon responded to Athletic, which did not stop percussing throughout the first half before a very well arranged blue structure and also very supportive. Even so those of Ernesto Valverde chained several chances of goal that generated the mobility and insistence of Sannadi and Marcos. Especially Athletic, who brought the four players that Barry Ferguson de Centrals placed head, since he had to reorder his team with the Ridvan Yilmaz injury in the 23rd minute. Consequence of the incessant work of Sannadi, Sancet hooked two goal balls in the area that Yilmaz and Tavernier blocked when they went to the goal with Kelly without options. Nor was he able to take advantage of a great pass from Maroan Nico, who finished off was only empty door. The international had to stretch but the play was clear. As also had many chief assignment from Sannadi to Sancet, who did not have time to lower the ball against the visiting goal and finished very high. It seemed that the crash was going to go back to goals without goals, as happened in the first leg, but the ‘African elephant’ appeared again. This time in a unchecking in the area in which he advanced to Soutter, who in his attempt to touch the ball met the foot of the Vitorian and the referee pointed out a penalty. Third time in the semifinals of a European competition in the previous two played the final and in both finals he fell defeated.

It was the beginning of a phase, just arriving at the time of the game, in which the Rangers went decisively for the match and chained up to three dangerous arrivals, since Cerny appears a lot for the right wing of his attack. The first a dangerous center that cleared Marcos and the second shot that stopped with difficulties and in two times Agirrezabala.
