Vivian answers De la Fuente as Sancet shines for Athletic | OneFootball

Vivian struck and Sancet impressed for Athletic. Unai Simón was largely untroubled. Vivian’s display answered De la Fuente after his latest omission.

Before kick-off, De Marcos presented Williams with a trophy for his 500 matches. As reported by as.com, Simón did not handle the ball until minute 38, dominated the air after half-time, saved from Abde on 69, then conceded to a Fornals free-kick, saw Bakambu flagged offside and went long in stoppage time.

Lekue returned to the XI, contained Abde and offered overlap. Laporte headed narrowly wide and made two important interventions, while Berchiche twice tested Pau López from range.

Galarreta tried to set the tempo with composure as Rego swept up neatly and kept passes clean. Jauregizar and Vesga arrived on 62 to add legs and aerial presence.

Sancet had a shot pushed away by Pau López, then finished a Williams pass, the goal checked before standing. Vivian also scored from a Williams delivery for his first of the season.

Guruzeta worked tirelessly and, before the interval, Pau López smothered his clear chance. Berenguer struggled in take-ons, drew one fine save and ended as the 9, while Unai Gómez, Navarro and Serrano came on, Serrano earning a booking for Natan.
