Athletic Club secured a crucial 2-0 win Real Sociedad

With a win in Bilbao, Ernesto Valverde's team would finish the weekend in seventh place overall and within reach of a Europa League spot. For the home team, captain Inaki Williams stole the show when he forced home the opening goal before halftime and then finished off the victory with a spectacular solo effort late in the game. His two goals have given the Ghanaian international six derby goals, ending La Real's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.

Their top four adversaries, however, had a mixed afternoon. Villarreal lost 2-1 to Real Valladolid at home following Selim Amallah's hilarious first goal and Jawad El Yamiq's wonderful second goal. The hosts were able to get back into the game after the break thanks to Etienne Capoue's thunderbolt, but Sociedad still leads by four points.
