Summary: Rayo Mahadhunda - Atletico Madrid 5: 0 (Sport 1)

Athletic Bilbao won the Spanish Super Cup in January last year, and tonight (Thursday) the Basques took a significant step towards a second consecutive win in the factory when they defeated Atletico Madrid 1: 2 in the semi-finals of a match held in Saudi Arabia.

The champion was better, but rarely endangered the opponent's goal.

In the 62nd minute, the Colchoneros enjoyed a strange own goal by Onai Simon, when Joao Felix hit not very well, but his ball bounced back from the crossbar to the back of the Bilbao goalkeeper and penetrated inside.

In the 77th minute, the Supercopa holder managed to equalize when Iker Muniain found the fearful Alvarez, who equalized to 1: 1.

Four minutes later substitute Nico Williams managed to set up a reversal to win Bilbao in front of the stunned players of Diego Simeone.

Atletico lost their head when an ugly foul by Jose Maria Jimenez in extra time cost him a direct red.

Atletico Madrid are losing their first local title this season.

As mentioned last year, Bilbao also reached the final, and also won the factory thanks to a dramatic 2: 3 victory in overtime over Barcelona.

In the semi-finals, the Basques then beat Real Madrid, and will meet the same Real for the final game, hoping to complete a second consecutive win at the factory.
