Player ratings
- Marrero: an early slip that almost led to a goal, then steadied himself.
- Zubeldia: the referee spared him a yellow on the first play; he headed the action that led to the equaliser.
- Jon Martín: got caught behind and allowed space in behind, though he saved a Sylla shot and improved later.
- Sergio Gómez: his turnover in the 20th minute ended in a shot off target; he didn’t contribute much going forward.
- Gorrotxategi: stepped in to prevent a key chance and helped free up a blocked build-up.
- Yangel Herrera: little impact in the first half in terms of build-up; Rino replaced him with Turrientes.
In the second period, the fine margins kept coming: Sucic was largely absent before the break and, in the 60th minute, fired a clear chance high. Guedes again struggled to find rhythm and didn’t threaten enough. Oyarzabal connected when needed (19th-minute shot hitting the back line) and Marín fouled in a way that led to the Belgian side’s leveller. Ochieng improved after the break despite tight marking by Havenaar, Take Interior worked from inside without creating, and Barrenetxea supplied the needed edge with relentless pressure and territorial control.
