In an emotionally charged Copa del Rey semifinal in Bilbao, where rain couldn't stop fans from welcoming their team, Athletic Club took a significant step towards ending their 40-year trophy drought, leading Atletico Madrid 3-0 on aggregate. The match was marked by the remarkable contributions of the Williams brothers, Iñaki and Nico, who each scored, showcasing their incredible journey from their parents' migration from Ghana to their pivotal roles in Athletic's current success. Nico's cross to Iñaki for a volley and Iñaki's return favor for Nico to score highlighted their synergy, putting Athletic 2-0 up in the semifinal and closer to facing Real Mallorca in the final, with hopes of lifting the cup high once again.

The story of the Williams brothers: Their parents walked barefoot across the Sahara from Ghana to reach Melilla, the north African Spanish enclave. They relocate to Bilbao. Iñaki and Nico grew up there. Tonight, they both scored for Athletic Club Bilbao in the Copa semi final.
