After a checkered start to the season, Athletic Bilbao gave the impression of having found its cruising speed. Undefeated for three matches in the league, the Basque club intended to take advantage of the reception of Sevilla FC, which conversely has been in great difficulty since the restart, to extend its good series as part of the 8th day of La Liga, this Sunday.
Pushed by its public, Athletic Bilbao, which recorded the return of Nico Williams as a starter alongside his brother Inaki, got the better of its Andalusian counterpart in the first period thanks to an achievement from young Mikel Jauregizar (1- 0.36th). But while the residents of San Mamés seemed to be flying towards victory, they were weighed down by the expulsion of Agirrezabala (82nd). Outnumbered, the Basques were punished by Padilla, who saved the day for Sevilla FC (1-1, 90th + 3). With this frustrating result, Bilbao misses the opportunity to get on the podium.
