Nico Williams matches brother's record as Athletic Club top scorer

Published on: 26 April 2023

Nico Williams' outstanding performance in Athletic Club's recent victory against Almería has helped him match his brother's record as the club's top scorer in the current season.

The Basque player scored the opening goal in the match, and his performance was instrumental in securing a crucial 2-0 win for the team.

With nine goals in the current season, six in the regular tournament and three in the Copa del Rey, Nico Williams has now equalled his brother's record.

The recent victory against Almería adds three crucial points to the Leones' tally and helps the team's dream of qualifying for European competition.

This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the difficult period that Nico Williams faced a few weeks ago. After missing two clear goal-scoring opportunities in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against CA Osasuna, he received numerous insults and was forced to close his social media accounts.

However, he has since bounced back and played an integral role in the Athletic Club's last three victories against RCD Espanyol, Real Sociedad, and Almería.

Nico Williams' performance in the recent match was exceptional, with his opening goal setting the tone for the team's success. He was involved throughout the match, playing on both the left and right wing, and was a constant threat to the opposition's defence.
