Ghanian international opened the scoring almost straight from the kickoff, and his younger brother is to 'blame' for Athletic's second goal, but it wasn't enough for the win
A disappointing outcome for the favourites, indeed. Athletic Bilbao were looking for an away win that could have kept them near the Champions League places, but instead had to settle with a draw at Getafe on Tuesday night.
The game, played on the outskirts of Madrid, ended 2-2 with the massive involvement of Inaki and Nico Williams. The brothers were heavily involved in action straight from the beginning, as the older Inaki netted two minutes into the game. The 28-year-old Ghanian international was among the best players on the pitch, fighting almost alone against Getafe's solid defensive wall made of not less than five players.

However, the hosts were quite good in offence, too, levelling the score near the half-time break through Alena.
Still, Bilbao managed to restore the lead early in the second half, and once more, one Williams was there to push his side in front.
The younger sibling, Nico, assisted perfectly and experienced Raul Garcia did what he does best to make it 2-1 with 30 minutes left on the clock.
Take a look at this — Nico Williams is the perfect definition of a nuisance winger, fantastic work on the wings.

Albeit it seemed like a breakthrough that would provide the Basque Country slot with the victory, Getafe bounced back again. Only three minutes after coming in from the bench, Munir El Haddadi found the back of the net for a deserved draw that places Bilbao in the sixth place of the LaLiga table.
