Inaki Williams and his brother Nico Williams both scored goals as Athletic Bilbao overcame Espanyol on Saturday, despite Inaki Williams\u2019 goal drought for Ghana. <\/p>\n

Bilbao entered the match as injured Lions after losing to Osasuna in the Copa del Rey semifinals. Similar to their previous game, they got off to a fast start but failed to make use of their opportunities. <\/p>\n

Inaki Williams, however, calmed it down when he sprinted to receive a long pass from Daniel Garcia in the 22nd minute and then drove it past Fernando Pacheco to give Bilbao the lead. <\/p>\n

– –<\/span><\/p>\n

The Espanyol goalkeeper maintained control of the situation until at least halfway despite Athletic Bilbao\u2019s best efforts to increase the score.<\/p>\n

Athletic Bilbao\u2019s backline repelled the majority of Espanyol\u2019s offensive attempts, making it difficult for them to reclaim the initiative. <\/p>\n

Inaki Williams\u2019 brother Nico Williams provided Bilbao more urgency up front after entering the game in the 69th minute. With a beautiful strike from the edge of the box in the 75th minute, he increased the lead.<\/p>\n
