In this way, Athletic now has 45 points, consolidates itself in fifth place in the standings, and once again achieves victory in the League, after two games without being able to do so. It has been a meeting in which Nico and Iñaki Williams have been substituted in the second half, apparently with some discomfort.
The strategic plays have marked the difference between Athletic and Mallorca in the first time; specifically, the success shown by Yuri Berchiche in two of them. The defender of the red and white team took advantage of two set-piece actions, in minutes three and 17, to put Ernesto Valverde’s squad ahead, and he also did so with two spectacular, very complicated shots.
The 1-0 It came in a shot made with his back to the Mallorca goal, after a free kick by Nico Williams. The Athletic left back put his left boot in skillfully to beat Rajkovic, who could not do anything to prevent the goal.
The play of 2-0 It is worth seeing several times. In a corner, Nico Williams took a cross to the penalty spot, Guruzeta extended back, and Yuri, again, this time with his right foot, put the ball into the corner. The ball has not touched the grass at any time before reaching the net.
Rajkovic, Mallorca’s goalkeeper, prevented the 3-0 lead in the 32nd minute, with a great header from Guruzeta.

Guruzeta took advantage, at the far post, of a pass from Oihan Sancet from inside the area.
Despite the excellent result that Athletic was achieving, concern has reached the San Mamés public, given that Nico and Iñaki Williams have had to be replaced, and both have given the impression of suffering from some physical problem, even a small one.. We will therefore have to follow the news in the coming days carefully, given that the Biscayan squad plays a key match against Atlético Madrid on Wednesday, at the Wanda Metropolitano, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
The last part of the meeting served to Iker Muniain, in the 89th minute, has debuted his goal tally in this League. The red and white captain received a good cross from Óscar de Marcos inside the area, and, with great class, he crossed the ball to the opposite side to which Rajkovic had begun to move. The San Mamés public celebrated the Navarrese goal with great enthusiasm, which was the prelude to the final celebration.
