Berenguer and Navarro stunners in 104 seconds put Athletic 2-0 up at Balaídos | OneFootball

Álex Berenguer and Robert Navarro struck in 104 seconds as Athletic surged 2-0 ahead at Balaídos against Celta, both born of a fierce high press.

According to El Correo, the display reflected Edin Terzic's demand for an aggressive press.

The opener arrived on 20 minutes when Gerenabarrena won the ball and Álex Berenguer arrowed a superb shot into the top corner for 0-1. It extended his fine record against Celta to five goals in 14 matches, three of them at Balaídos.

Only 104 seconds later, on 22 minutes, Ruiz de Galarreta stole possession and combined beautifully with Iñaki Williams and Robert Navarro. Navarro applied a clinical finish to make it 0-2.

Two turnovers triggered two direct moves and ruthless finishes. Arriving as bottom of the table, Athletic finally produced the pattern Terzic seeks, intensity high up, quick recoveries and lightning attacks.
