Athletic Bilbao beat Getafe 3-0 in the last match on Sunday evening to climb above their opponents to eighth. Within twelve minutes the Basque side were two up, Iraola drilling a low shot in to the bottom corner of the net after Toquero's cross was only partly cleared, and San José converting a penalty after Rafa barged into Muniain as he ran in to the area. Both keepers were in action as the rain closed in later in the first half, Iraizoz saving well at the feet of Colunga, and Codina punching over a wide free kick from Susaeta. Llorente uncharacteristically missed a couple of chances, but with seven minutes to go Gabilondo picked up a square pass from fellow substitute Davi López to round things off. After the week he's had, Michel will be happy to get back to Madrid!
