Athletic Club Run Riot With Four Goals Past Getafe

Berenguer was the architect of all four strikes

Berenguer gave Athletic the lead in the 17th minute from a direct free kick. A minute later Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta went off with a muscle problem, and Benat Gerenabarrena came on to take his place in midfield.

Gerenabarrena recovered possession before the second goal, which came in the 35th minute. Berenguer then found Inaki Williams with a threaded pass, and the captain buried a quick counter-attack with a low finish. Athletic went into the break two goals up, even though they had been forced into an early change.

The game was played on 25 October 2026. The first half featured two separate ways of scoring: a dead-ball delivery and a fast attack that started with a midfield turnover. Getafe had trouble containing Berenguer, since from that same zone he could shoot, whip in a cross or play a runner through.

Paredes and Yuri rounded off the dead-ball show

Athletic made it 3-0 in the 70th minute. Aitor Paredes rose to meet Berenguer’s corner and headed home, which all but ended Getafe’s chances of a comeback.

Mario Martin was dismissed in the 86th minute for fouling Gerenabarrena. Two minutes later Athletic took a quick free kick: Berenguer slipped it to Yuri Berchiche, who struck a long-range shot into the net. It was Berenguer’s third assist of the afternoon.

Three of the four goals began with a set piece. Berenguer put in two free kicks and a corner, and Athletic turned all three into goals.

Athletic beat Getafe 4-0 and kept a clean sheet

Getafe’s only real effort of note was a shot from Ramon Terrats, which Unai Simon held. Athletic’s centre-backs guarded the box well, and the hosts stayed compact whenever they lost the ball.

Berenguer’s delivery and precise set pieces did the damage, along with a rapid reaction to the midfield injury. Gerenabarrena came on without any time to prepare, yet he was involved in the build-up to the second and fourth goals.

Athletic saw out the closing minutes with an extra man and finished a 4-0 win at San Mames without conceding.
