The long-awaited and welcome return to the field of play by Euskal Selekzioa, the Basque football team, did not manage to fill the stands at the Mendizorrotza stadium, but it did generate a great atmosphere for the team, which beat Venezuela 4-2 with goals from Ibai Gomez, Jon Bautista, Anaitz Arbilla and Aritz Elustondo.

Venezuela, nicknamed the Vino Tinto, equalised in the first half thanks to a goal from Aristóteles Romero, and then gave the result some respectability with a goal from Andrés Ponce just before the final whistle. This was Venezuela’s third defeat to the Basque side, much to the delight of the 15,132 fans that attended the match in Vitoria-Gasteiz, where the players managed by José Mari Amorrortu and Mikel Etxarri made their voice heard in FIFA’s window of international matches by announcing loud and clear that they can compete with the best national sides at this level.
