Inaki Williams scores for Bilbao against Las Palmas
Ghanaian international Inaki Williams was the difference-maker on Wednesday night as Athletic Bilbao edged out Las Palmas 1-0 in a LaLiga Round 33 clash at San Mamés.
Williams opened the scoring in just the 5th minute, finishing off a swift attacking move sparked by Iñigo Ruíz de Galarreta’s incisive through ball.
The early goal ultimately proved decisive as the Basque club claimed a narrow but important win in front of their home fans.
Las Palmas failed to convert their control into meaningful opportunities, registering just one big chance over the course of the game.
Inaki, who played the full 90 minutes, delivered a standout performance beyond his goal. He created five chances — the most in the match — despite recording the fewest touches (47) among outfield players who played the entire game, highlighting his efficiency and impact in the final third.
With this crucial league victory secured, attention now turns to Europe, as Athletic Bilbao prepare for their highly anticipated UEFA Europa League semifinal showdown against Manchester United on May 1.
