Bilbao defeats Villarreal to stop slump
Print Edition
Mikel Rico’s perfectly taken header helped Athletic Bilbao beat 10-man Villarreal 2-0 at its new San Mames Stadium in the Spanish league on Monday.
Rico dove horizontally to meet Andoni Iraola’s long cross from the right to score his second league goal of the season in the 33rd minute.
Two minutes later, Aritz Aduriz netted Bilbao’s second when he raced forward and pounced on a poor clearance by Villarreal defender Mateo Musacchio, sending a low shot rolling past goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo.
Villarreal midfielder Bruno Soriano was sent off for a second yellow card in first-half injury time.
“We needed to win, we’ve come from two matches where we haven’t won and now we’re well placed,” Iraola said.
Also, Levante beat Celta Vigo 1-0.
