On the lawn of the Estadi Cornelà-el Prat, the Espanyol received, this Sunday, Bilbao as part of the 24th day of Liga. Fourth at kick-off, the Basques could get closer to the Top 3 in the event of a victory against the Catalans, eighteenths before the meeting. Hanging on the break, the men of Ernesto Valverde were unfortunately to be surprised when the locker room returns.
Shortly after the hour of play, Roberto Fernandez released his family by finding the net (1-0, 62nd). In the last half hour of play, the Catalans resisted but finally cracked and Oihan Sancet equalized (1-1, 77th). In the ranking, Bilbao remains 4th with temporarily 3 lengths behind Barça. Espanyol dates back to 15th row.
