An injury time strike from Yeste saved a point for Athletic Bilbao in their relegation battle with Espanyol. The Basque side wasted a good chance to go ahead when they were awarded a penalty ten minutes before the break after Gorka brought down Yeste, but Aduriz slipped when taking the kick allowing the keeper an easy save. Four minutes later Juanfran scored at the other end after Edu Costa set him up, and it looked as if the Catalans were on their way to picking up three points when Yeste struck.
