Athletic Bilbao and Racing Santander played out a dull 0-0 draw which left both sides in mid-table. Chances were few and far between in the first half, the visitors only testing Aranzubia once early on when Ayoze fired in a shot from left of the area, and Llorente heading a good chance over the bar from a corner at the other end a few minutes later.

The closest anyone came to scoring was when Yeste hit the post with the keeper beaten ten minutes in to the second half, and another header by Yeste later on was blocked by his own man Casas when it was on it's way goalwards. Aouate saved from Julen Guerrero and then from Llorente, and Yeste missed another chance in the dying minutes. In the end though a point apiece which was a better result for the Cantabrians than their hosts.
