Ghanaian striker, Inaki Williams
Iñaki Williams’ early goal proved the difference as Athletic Bilbao secured a 1-0 win over Las Palmas in LaLiga Round 33 on Wednesday evening.
The Ghanaian striker found the net in just the 5th minute, finishing a slick move started by Galarreta’s clever through ball.
Iñaki, who played the full 90 minutes, was the most creative player on the pitch with five chances created, despite having the fewest touches (47) among outfield players who completed the entire match.
Las Palmas had more of the ball (51%) but failed to make it count, managing just one big chance and falling short in front of their home fans.
Iñaki’s younger brother, Nico Williams, made his return from injury, replacing Álex Berenguer and playing the final 25 minutes, adding pace down the flank.
This victory improves Athletic’s head-to-head record against Las Palmas to five wins, two losses, and three draws.
With domestic business handled, Bilbao now sets its sights on their Europa League semifinal clash with Manchester United on May 1.
