Williams’ crucial goal, giving Bilbao a 3-1 lead, proved to be the winning strike despite Girona’s late surge, which only resulted in another consolation goal.
Bilbao took the lead twice at San Mames, courtesy of goals from Alex Berenguer, before Williams provided the assurance with his goal in the 60th minute.
Demonstrating strength and skill, Williams shrugged off defenders to unleash a great shot into the bottom corner of the net.
Girona scored a second goal, setting up a tense finish, but Bilbao, buoyed by their passionate supporters, managed to hold on for a 3-2 victory.
