Athletic ratings: Unai Gómez shines in marking and attack as Guruzeta nets brace | OneFootball

Athletic’s player ratings spotlighted Unai Gómez’s double shift out wide and in attack, while Gorka Guruzeta struck twice in a contest featuring penalties at both ends.

As reported by as.com, Lekue conceded a penalty and was booked for tripping Germán Varela, and André Silva converted to make it 1-1. Unai Simón had little to do but was sharp with his long distribution. Vivian returned after six games out and contained Álvaro Rodríguez.

Berchiche patrolled his side and delivered the cross for Guruzeta’s opener on 65 minutes. Galarreta organised midfield. Rego started and drew a strong save from Dituro.

Laporte anticipated well and saw a Bigas foul given as a penalty, which Guruzeta converted. The brace moved him to six in the league and 13 overall with Champions and Copa.

Sancet squandered chances, lifting one over when clean through, hitting a second at a defender, then failing to beat Dituro after the break. Williams grafted, showed his pace and had a one-on-one run, slightly checked by Chust, but Dituro saved.

Used as a winger, Unai Gómez shadowed Febas while driving forward, had a superb solo effort denied by Dituro, later shot over and was booked. Vesga replaced him on 67 minutes to freshen and steady. Eder García came on for Rego on 67 minutes for his Primera debut, Navarro for Sancet on 74 minutes, then Areso and Izeta for Lekue and Williams on 78 minutes, the latter scuffing a shot on target.
