Villarreal CF - Athletic Club

Athletic Club beat Villarreal CF 1-3 at the Ceramic Stadium. Cordoba, Williams and Muniain scored Athletic’s goals, while Bacca scored for the home side. Our team dominated start to finish. In fact, the first goal came in the fourth minute and was the first goal scored by Iñigo Córdoba in the First Division.

Fornals soon gave the fright of the night when he collapsed dizzy on the pitch, but fortunately he was fine. 

The second half started the same way, with the local goalkeeper becoming the figure of the match, although he could not prevent the second goal, scored by Williams. There was a world left, and more in a cursed field in LaLiga for our colours – since February 29, 2004 without winning there – and in an isolated play, Bacca made it 1-2.

However, our team did not stop playing and trying to hold the ball. They got their prize as the third goal was scored by Iker Muniain, who returned to the pitch for the first time in six months. Now it’s time to welcome Deportivo on Saturday, a match in which neither Unai Núñez nor Ander Iturraspe will be present, having racked up five yellow cards.
