On 12 September 1999 at San Mamés, Real Madrid drop their first points of the season in a 2-2 draw that feels less like consensus than mutual exhaustion, which is about right for a Basque classic.
Julen Guerrero bends a free-kick over the wall and into the top corner, but within four minutes the visitors are level after a one-two in midfield and a brilliant jinking run finished past Imanol Etxeberria.
Before the break a Madrid full-back has already walked for two yellows, Helguera is on to shore the right side, and then Aitor Larrazábal's cross is diverted into the visitors' own net for 2-1. Deep into the second half substitute Nicolas Anelka crosses and fellow sub Guti taps home the equaliser, ten men somehow still in the scrap.
Guerrero bosses the middle like a man who has been waiting years for this particular afternoon. John Toshack leaves with a point salvaged the hard way. Luis Fernández leaves wondering how a win slipped through the San Mamés night.
Deportivo won the title this season, Real Madrid uncharacteristically finish the season in 5th place but only 7 points behind the champions. Second to Sixth are split by only 3 points!
The phrase "top bins" is all about the top corners of the goal, where the crossbar meets the posts. It describes a goal scored with precision, power, and accuracy right into the top corner - an unstoppable strike! It is synonymous with "finding the corner" or a "perfect" strike - e.g. "They've put that top bins" or "That is top bins!".
