Athletic Bilbao remained unbeaten after defeating Mallorca 2-0, and the Basque Country team is now the early leader of La Liga. With five teams one point behind Bilbao before they play later in the round, Bilbao's reign at the top is likely to be short-lived. However, the club that only fields players from the northern Basque Country region or neighboring regions will enjoy an enviable start to the season with two wins and two draws, including a 1-1 tie with Barcelona.
Muniain assisted Daniel Vivian's goal in the 67th minute by meeting his run into the box with a free-kick that the defender headed in. After intercepting a pass outside Mallorca's area and crossing for Iñaki Williams to tap in, the midfielder assisted to put the game beyond doubt in the 74th minute.
