After the restart, Valencia held onto the ball for a while. They had been stunned by Athletic Bilbao in the first few minutes.
So much so that they weren't even attacking. This caused the match to dull a bit.
The home crowd were as vibrant as ever. They kept urging their team to press after seeing their opponents on the back foot.
The Morale of the Athletic players got to an all-time high as they pressed at the backing of their riled-up fans.
Izan, who stood in the middle of the pitch, watched the scene unfolding. "Too much excitement always leads to disappointment," Izan said with a subtle smirk.
He looked around once more, noticing the backline of Athletic Bilbao that had advanced once again.
Izan smiled slightly and headed deep into his half.
After arriving, Izan called for the ball. Javi Guerra, who found himself in a tough situation, saw Izan calling.
