Cold Shower at San Mames: Athletic Club 3-0 A. Madrid

In the 4th week of Spanish La Liga, Athletic Club delivered a football masterclass against the formidable Atletico Madrid at San Mames. Although the first half ended in a goalless draw, a completely different Athletic Club storm blew across the pitch in the second half. Under the management of Edin Terzic, the Basque team, backed by the immense support of their passionate fans, managed to leave the field with a clear 3-0 victory, giving their opponents a severe cold shower.

The goal that broke the deadlock came from star player Nico Williams in the 46th minute. Unable to overcome the shock of this goal, Atletico Madrid fell 2-0 behind just two minutes later, in the 48th minute, when Robert Navarro sent the ball into the net with a brilliant assist from Inaki Williams. Diego Simeone's squad tried to make tactical moves to get back into the game but remained completely ineffective. The highly discussed controversial figure Julian Alvarez, who started on the bench, entered the game in the 59th minute replacing Lee Kang-In, but he could not cure his team's ineffectiveness in attack. The goal that determined the final score came from Oihan Sancet in the 90th minute, sealing a magnificent 3-0 victory.

Following this result, Athletic Club raised their points to 6 after 4 weeks, taking a deep breath after a shaky start. Taking a massive blow in the title race, Atletico Madrid remained at 7 points, suffering a total loss of 5 points in the first 4 weeks.
