Athletic Club produced one of their most impressive performances of the season, defeating Atlético Madrid 3–0 at San Mamés in a dominant La Liga display.
After a closely contested first half, Athletic turned the game on its head with two quick goals. Nico Williams put the hosts ahead with a header following a cross from his brother Iñaki, before Robert Navarro doubled the advantage soon after.
Atlético struggled to respond despite making several changes, including the introduction of Julián Álvarez. Athletic remained dangerous on the counter and continued to expose gaps in the visitors’ defence.
Oihan Sancet put the result beyond doubt late in the game, completing a memorable 3–0 victory for Athletic. The result also handed Atlético their first defeat of the La Liga season.
For Athletic boss Edin Terzić, the emphatic win marked a major statement as his side look to build momentum in the new campaign.
