Espanyol are fairly safe after a 1-0 victory over losing cup finalists Athletic Bilbao, their fifth home win in a row. Callejón and Luis García could both have opened the scoring early on, but it was not until twenty minutes from the end that Luis García scored the winner from the penalty spot after Gurpegui fouled substitute Coro on the edge of the area. Athletic hardly troubled Kameni all night though, their work for the season already done.
