The Williams brothers dismantled the effect of Luis García, who was making his debut as Espanyol coach, by scoring two goals with his Athletic Club at the RCDE Stadium, in the 22nd and 75th minute, which prevented the host, despite seeing the Darder goal in the 90, came out of the well. The parakeets, who have chained five defeats, are still in the relegation zone of the standings, while the Basques turn the page after the cup elimination last Tuesday, at the hands of Osasuna.
