Unai Simón caps myth-making week with another extraordinary night | Sid Lowe

Athletic Club goalkeeper Unai Simón capped a historic week by leading his team to a 2-1 victory over rivals Real Sociedad in the Basque derby at San Mamés. Just days after winning the Lev Yashin trophy as the world's best men's goalkeeper at the London Palladium, Simón delivered a series of vital stops, culminating in a 72nd-minute save against Carlos Soler that drew a spontaneous standing ovation from over 50,000 spectators.

Goals from Iñaki Williams and Álex Berenguer sealed the win for Athletic, despite Luka Sucic leveling the score in the first half. The emotional match also marked the 50th anniversary of the historic 1976 derby Ikurriña display, honoring icons Inaxio Kortabarria and José Ángel Iribar.
