“Seftes” for Bilbao. Ernesto Valverde’s Basques defeated Valencia 1-0 in San Mames and reached the four points, leaving the “bats” without a point in last place struggling to catch their breath.
The Basques were superior and missed many chances before Benat’s header in the 45’+1 that gave the Spanish cup holders victory.
Leganes temporarily remained in the top four, after the 0-0 draw at “Jose Torilla” with Valladolid in the newcomers’ derby, with the home team one point behind and in a match that did not show anything of quality.
