Apart from putting another point on the board, Saturday afternoon’s 2-2 draw against Valencia at Mestalla also saw forward Raúl García bag his first goal of the 2020-21 season.
Only two minutes after coming off the bench, Raúl converted from the 12-yard spot in the 79th minute with a powerful shot that went under Jaume Domenech’s body. At the time, the goal, the lions’ second of the match, also gave Athletic a 1-2 lead.
Eight Athletic players have hit the back of the net at least once this season, bringing the lions’ overall ‘Goals For’ tally in LaLiga Santander to 14:
Unai López – 2 (a brace against SD Eibar)
Álex Berenguer – 2 (against Levante UD and Real Betis)
Iñaki Williams – 2 (against Levante UD and Real Valladolid)
Iker Muniain – 2 (against Sevilla FC and Real Betis)
Asier Villalibre – 2 (against Getafe CF and Valencia CF)
Oihan Sancet – 1 (against Sevilla FC)
Ander Capa – 1 (against Real Betis)
Raúl García – 1 (against Valencia CF)
