Atletico were reported to have carried much of the early threat and came closest before half-time, when Pablo Barrios struck the post. Athletic, though, stayed in the contest and then flipped it decisively after the interval.
The report says the breakthrough arrived when Inaki Williams' deflected shot dropped kindly for Nico Williams, who nodded home. Momentum turned immediately after that. Reports suggest Robert Navarro made it 2-0 just two minutes later, cutting inside and curling a left-footed finish beyond the goalkeeper as Athletic seized control of the night.
From there, the hosts were said to have altered their approach, sitting deeper and restricting space around the penalty area. Atletico still found one major second-half opening, but the update says Unai Simon produced a strong save from Julian Alvarez to preserve the advantage.
Any hope of a late comeback faded in stoppage time, with Oihan Sancet reported to have finished a counterattack in the 90th minute. The headline stats were simple - three unanswered goals and a clean sheet - and the final score delivered a convincing result for Athletic.
