Athletic Club moved into the top four just before the international break with a 3-2 win over Rayo Vallecano. Both Inaki and Nico Williams scored along with midfielder Oihan Sancet. Nico Williams also made his debut for the Spain senior team during the break, picking up a late assist for Morata in their 1-0 win over Portugal. Almeria suffered their third straight defeat in the league after another 1-0 loss, this time to Mallorca. They are continuing to struggle in attack following the departure of Umar Sadiq, having not scored a goal since his transfer to Real Sociedad. Almeria have not beaten the home side since doing the league double over them in the 2008/09 season, when they were led by now-Cadiz striker Alvaro Negredo. 3:0
