35th day of liga in San Mamés. Three days after its elimination in the Europa League against Manchester United (1-4), Athletic Bilbao had to win this Saturday. Opposed to Alavés, the players of Ernesto Valvarde managed to win, ensuring the minimum service (1-0).
It was not until the second period and a goal from Manu Sanchez against his camp in the 71st minute to see the display board evolve. After ninety minutes well gloomy, it is the Basques who left with the three points. Thanks to this success, Nico Williams' partners retain their third place and are on a good momentum for the qualification in the Champions League next year.
