The Valladolid came out of the descent, although equaled with Elche, and the European dream of Athletic with a tie (2-2) where those of Sergio Gonzalez, still inferior in the game during almost the entire game, were able to equal the two times that the locals went ahead. Marcelino García Toral.
They overtook the locals Jon morcillo, at the edge of a quarter of an hour, and Raúl García, a quarter of an hour from the end, and the Chilean tied successively Fabian Orellana and the israeli Shon weissman finishing off two centers from the right in minutes 70 and 85.

The final 2-2 was perhaps too much reward for a Valladolid to which this point takes him out of the relegation places and too much punishment for an Athletic that deserved to celebrate Morcillo’s first scorer with victory, together with Unai Nuñez of the best of his team , Y the debut in the First Division of Nico Williams, Iñaki’s brother and the first player born in the XXI century to play in the first team of Biscay.
With this tie, Europe is seven points behind Athletic, while Pucela is still in relegation points, even though it is out of the positions that lead to Second.
Marcelino decided to continue counting on the young forwards who beat Atlético de Madrid last Sunday, and soon they proved right again, as they led the rojiblanco dominance in the first quarter of an hour that closed with the first goal of the game.
It was precisely one of those promises from Lezama that marked him. Black pudding, that if a few days ago he was about to burst the crossbar with a shoe from afar, today he lodged next to the left post, unattainable for Masip, another shot from the front.
It was a good local play, with an intentional long pitch from Nuñez to Villalibre, and the arrival of Unai López that left Amorebieta alone to shoot almost at will.
Athletic maintained control after the goal and after half an hour the siege of the visiting goal intensified to achieve 2-0.
Morcillo was about to get it again, but his centered volley could be cleared by Masip, who was also approached with danger by Unai López, Villalibre, Sancer and Berenguer.
Was a clear match in favor of Athletic, until Valladolid woke up in the final stretch in the first half with two centers towards Weissman and Marcos André well defended by the locals.
Although the clear chances that Pucela did achieve was a shot from Alcaraz in a set piece thrown by Orellana, and a play in the 41st minute that ended in an offside goal by Weissman, finishing off a failed shot by a teammate. , which it was but tighter than it seemed at first.
Another approach by Berenguer and a last attempt by Nacho, since in discount, they gave way to rest.
Valladolid started better in the second half within a give and take with attempts by Óscar Plano, Berenguer and Marcos André.
But the chances were for Athletic, who, first, threatened the 2-0 in a good shot from Villalibre, to pass from Morcillo, who cleared Masip.
And then he forgave the second goal in a very clear double opportunity from Íñigo Martínez. Who found Masip in a point-blank shot on the edge of the small, unmarked area around, and then shot across the field in a shot almost as clear as the previous one.
Raúl García still had a good shot before Valladolid tied in a play that will not have happened many times: a header from Orellana from a corner kick. An action that was seen coming before what Athletic forgave.
However, the Basque team reacted again, already with the Williams brothers, Iñaki and Nico, on the pitch. The little one debuting in the First Division and the second way to break the record for games played in the highest category. It has already been 190.
And precisely it was the eldest of the brothers who led the 2-1 with a wash to the band that Raúl García finished off, only, in the small area.
That goal seemed definitive, but Valladolid did not give up despite their inferiority and, in a Janko center that Oscar Plano let pass, Weissman made it 2-2.
