In the first leg, Athletic Bilbao has the right of home on his side. From the outset, Bilbao sought to act aggressively on domestic soil. Guests focused primarily on the defensive, but nevertheless took the lead with Gonzalo Melero’s first and only goal shot over the entire game (26th). The hosts tried to get a response before the break. However, since this was not to succeed, it went into the half-time break with the narrow 0-1. Even after the change of sides, Athletic continued to play lively forward and was eventually rewarded with the equalisation by Inigo Martinez after 58 minutes. Although the home team posted a significant increase in chances, the draw ended. From the guests’ point of view, in any case, a more than happy result. The one away goal could be very important in the second leg.
By the way, both teams faced each other on the last day of the La Liga. At that time there was also a 1-1 draw in Levante. In the course of the game, however, both teams met more or less on an equal footing. Two penalties scored the goals in the match. Once Roger Marti lined up for Levante and Raul Garcia was able to equalise in the second round.
