Strike to the cock... but it was expected. Aritz Aduriz, with less than a minute on the field, scored a great scissor kick goal for the 1-0 of Athletic Club Bilbao against Barcelona in San Mamés for the first matchday of La Liga Santander.
Everything seemed like it would end in a draw, once again, in San Mamés, but Valverde did not count on a change in -literally- the last minute of the game. Garitano decided to include Aduriz instead of Iñaki and he was not wrong. The veteran forward scored a true golazo in the first touch and found the back of the net.

Poor start of La Liga
FC Barcelona, the reigning champion, opened the 2019-2020 season of the Spanish League with a 1-0 defeat at the Athletic Bilbao's stadium, this Friday, in a match where their Uruguayan player Luis Suárez was also substituted due to injury.
Without the presence of Lionel Messi, who is also injured, Barça ended up succumbing at the Nuevo San Mamés due to a genius move by veteran Aritz Aduriz (38 years old), who scored with a scissor kick in the 89th minute from a cross by his teammate Ander Capa.
