Israeli Defender Roy Revivo Debuts in Elche's Draw at Athletic Bilbao

Israeli defender Roy Revivo made his first start for Elche in their 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. Revivo played a positive game, primarily focusing on defensive duties and notably pressuring Inaki Williams in the sixth minute, preventing a clearer scoring opportunity. Elche took an unexpected lead in the 50th minute through a penalty converted by Facundo Buonanotte, following a foul inside the box. However, Athletic Bilbao equalized in the 79th minute via an own goal by Elche's Victor Chust, after sustained pressure from the home side. Elche remains winless this season, sitting second to last in the league with two points, while Bilbao continues their inconsistent start.

In another match, Racing Santander defeated Alaves 2-1. Yasir Zbir scored twice for Santander, including the winning goal, after Alaves had initially taken the lead through Vili Koski's first goal for the club. Alaves' substitute Andre Almeida was sent off in the 88th minute, but it did not prevent Santander from securing their second victory of the season. Santander's stadium was nearly full, and they have yet to lose at home since returning to La Liga.
