Bilbao Triumphs in Stunning Win Atletico Settles for a Draw

Athletic Bilbao celebrated their first La Liga victory of the season with a narrow 1-0 win over Valencia.

Benat Prados scored the decisive goal just before halftime, lifting Bilbao from the bottom of the table.

This win marks a significant turnaround for the team, providing a much-needed morale boost.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid faced frustration as they were held to a goalless draw by Espanyol.

Despite a disallowed goal by Rodrigo Riquelme due to VAR intervention, Atletico managed to secure a point, moving them into fourth place in the standings.

The match was a defensive battle, with neither side able to break the deadlock.

In other La Liga action, Alaves earned their first win of the campaign by defeating Real Sociedad 2-1.

Sociedad, reduced to ten men early in the match, initially took the lead but couldn’t hold on as Alaves equalized and then found a late winner.

This round of matches has shaken up the standings, with Bilbao’s breakthrough win and Atletico’s draw highlighting the unpredictable nature of the league this season.
