Shortly after facing racial insults from fans of Atletico Madrid, Nico Williams, together with his brother Inaki Williams of the Black Stars, played key roles in defeating Getafe in the Spanish La Liga.

Athletic Bilbao achieved a 2-0 victory against Getafe on their turf, with the Williams siblings contributing to both goals.
Nico set up both goals that Inaki netted, securing the win and reinforcing Bilbaoβs position at fifth in the league, now 10 points ahead of their nearest competitor, Real Sociedad, who have a game in hand.
Inaki found the net at the 27th and 51st minutes of the match, which saw two Bilbao players receive red cards and Getafeβs Mason Greenwood fail to convert a penalty at the 88th minute.
During his 82 minutes on the pitch, Inaki managed two shots on goal, won a couple of headers, and made 18 successful passes.

With this performance, Inaki has increased his season record to 11 goals and three assists in 31 league matches, with only four games left in the 2023-2024 season.
This season has been particularly memorable for Athletic Bilbao, as they clinched their first Copa Del Rey title in four decades.
What a goal by Inaki Williams to give Athletic Club the 1-0 lead away from home against Getafe. β½οΈπ¬π
