The lions give Eldense no option, despite the good start of the local population.
For Athletic Club de Bilbao, the Cup has a special meaning, as evidenced by the 23 titles in the list of winners of the tournament. In his umpteenth attempt to win it again amid his long drought, he beat Eldense of the First Federation at the Pepico Amat (1-6). However, the local team gave a great image until they conceded the third goal, after which they practically dropped their arms.
Nico Williams opened the scoring in minute 35 by chasing a rebound from Stamatakis off a Berenguer shot. Five minutes later, Berenguer himself received a dry whip after a rejection by the barrier on a free kick from Yuri.
