Athletic youth team is crowned league champion in Oyono's debut

Athletic Club's Honor Division youth team has achieved a crucial victory in Lezama that has allowed it to secure the league title for the fifth consecutive year. The match, which pitted the red-and-white team against Santutxu, led by Ibai Gómez and Fernando Amorebieta, ended with a minimal score but enough for the Bilbao team to become champions.

An outstanding debut in a context of victory It was that of Igor Oyono, the young striker originally from Barakaldo. His incorporation into Athletic, after his time at Villarreal, had generated expectations that finally materialized this Saturday with his first appearance on the field as a starter. Oyono played the first 60 minutes of the match, showing flashes of his quality despite the obvious lack of continuity he has had over the past few months.

Athletic came into this match with the possibility of being champion even if they lost, thanks to the defeat of Osasuna, the second placed team, who lost at home 1-2 against Antiguoko. However, the victory of the rojiblancos not only confirmed their dominance in the competition, but also increased their advantage to seven points over the Navarrese. With this victory, Athletic has 67 points after 29 games, with an impressive record of 21 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.

The day was doubly significant since, in addition to the victory and the league title, it served to consolidate a young promise like Oyono within the team's scheme. His adaptation and future performance will be key in the configuration of a squad that seeks to maintain its hegemony in the division.

With only one day left and the title already in hand, Athletic will face Eibar away in a match that will serve to close a remarkable season. This championship reinforces Athletic Club's reputation in terms of training youth talent and its ability to compete at the highest level in youth categories.

The red and white team, with its victory today, not only celebrates a new title, but also projects itself into the future with the promise of continuing to be a dominant force in youth football.
