Athletic ratings: Unai Gómez impresses with goal and assist in Palma | OneFootball

Unai Gómez led Athletic with a goal and an assist in Palma, while Unai Simón contended with two penalties and Nico Williams made it 3-3.

As reported by as.com, Muriqi finished the first chance on a counter. Simón saved the striker’s penalty, Muriqi converted the rebound for 1-2, and a second spot-kick also went in. The keeper produced big stops from Samu Costa, Darder, Llabrés and Muriqi.

Gómez scored from Guruzeta’s pass, then Leo Román guessed to deny him a clear second. He later teed up Nico for 3-3 and was replaced by Sancet after the break.

Guruzeta pressed tirelessly and created another chance that went begging, Román also blocked a close-range effort. He received a second yellow in the 72nd minute for protesting the penalty given against Berchiche. VAR had checked a handball involving Muriqi, who was holding the full-back, yet a more than harsh penalty was given against Berchiche.

Vivian had a long-range effort and conceded a handball penalty after a VAR review, he also forced Román into a save from a corner. Paredes was caught for 0-1, then steadied to clear his lines. Berchiche struck early, felt discomfort on 26 minutes but continued.

Areso was booked and saw a powerful strike deflected by Lato. Galarreta tested Román and ran the midfield against his former side, while Jauregizar was combative. Berenguer returned after a foot issue, busy but without reward.
