Lone goal by Williams helps Athletic Club maintain their place in first division

Athletic Club defeated Rayo Vallecano at Vallecas, but they managed to avoid any drama on the final day and maintain their place in the first division. Even though they had the better opportunities before and after the interval, the away team buried their one genuine opening of the game when Spain's Nico Williams scored from close range.

As he gets ready for his June Spain assignment, Williams finishes the campaign with eight goals across all competitions. Williams would have doubled the lead but his shot was blocked during the stoppage time while Unai Gómez assisted him. Now at the end of the season with three more games left, the defending champion Real Madrid is first in the standings with 94 points, 12 points ahead of second-place Barcelona and 13 ahead of third-place Girona.
