On a vibrant night at the San Mamés Stadium, Ghanaian forward Inaki Williams played a key role in Athletic Club’s impressive 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in a thrilling La Liga encounter.

The Black Stars striker, known for his work ethic and sharp movements, started the match and lasted the full 90 minutes, contributing to his team’s crucial win against one of Spain’s top sides.

The game began with Real Madrid appearing to draw first blood after Kylian Mbappé found the back of the net in the 14th minute. However, VAR intervention ruled the goal offside, leaving the visitors frustrated.

In a tightly contested first half, neither side could break the deadlock. But the hosts returned with intent in the second half, and in the 53rd minute, Alex Berenguer opened the scoring with a clinical finish to give Athletic Club the lead.

Real Madrid had a golden opportunity to equalize in the 68th minute when they were awarded a penalty. However, Mbappé’s struggles continued as his effort was brilliantly saved by Unai Simón.

Although Jude Bellingham leveled the score in the 78th minute with a composed finish, Athletic Club refused to back down. Just minutes later, Gorka Guruzeta found the winner, sending the San Mamés crowd into jubilation.

Inaki Williams, alongside his younger brother Nico Williams, delivered a tireless performance, helping Athletic Club secure a memorable win. With this victory, the Basque side continues to solidify their position in the league.

So far this season, Inaki Williams has been instrumental for Athletic Club, contributing three goals and four assists in 15 La Liga appearances. As the campaign progresses, the Ghanaian forward remains a vital figure for his club’s ambitions.
