Álex Berenguer scored an 85th-minute winner to give Athletic Bilbao a crucial 1-0 victory over Atlético Madrid, dealing the capital club their second straight La Liga defeat and denting their title hopes.
Athletic Bilbao handed Atlético Madrid a painful 1-0 defeat at San Mamés as Álex Berenguer swept home a dramatic 85th-minute winner.
The tight La Liga contest saw few clear-cut chances, though Athletic Club appeared the more threatening side, with forward Oihan Sancet testing goalkeeper Jan Oblak on several occasions throughout the match.
The sole goal from Berenguer, who celebrated the emotional late strike, dealt a significant blow to the visitors’ title ambitions.
The result marked a rare home victory for Athletic over their Madrid rivals, while extending Atlético’s current run of poor form to a second consecutive league defeat.
