Gorka Guruzeta bags brace as Athletic Bilbao ease to win over struggling Cadiz
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Cadiz’s poor start to the LaLiga season continued as they were soundly beaten at home by Athletic Bilbao to remain without a point or a goal from their opening three games.
Having narrowly avoided relegation last season, Sergio’s side seemingly face another uphill battle following this latest 4-0 reverse.
Inaki Williams broke the deadlock after capitalising on a defensive error before the Bilbao striker saw a penalty saved by Jeremias Ledesma.
😈 @Williaaams45 with the high press!
🎯 Our no.9 jumps on a bad pass by the Cadiz defence before going round Ledesma and sliding the ball home.
👊 Los Leones take the lead!

Summer signing Gorka Guruzeta replaced Williams in the second half and promptly opened his account for the club, doubling the lead with a fine strike.
He would add a second in stoppage-time after Alex Berenguer Remiro’s effort had already secured the points for the visitors, who remain unbeaten.
A neat finish from substitute Antoine Griezmann was enough for Atletico Madrid to win 1-0 at Valencia.
The France forward curled home the winner after 66 minutes after Yunus Musah’s fine first-half strike for the hosts was chalked off by VAR for a foul in the build-up.
