Athletic Bilbao are just a point outside of the European spots after a 1-4 win at Almería. The Basque side scored three of their goals from dead-ball kicks, Javi Martínez starting things off from Yeste's free kick and Ustaritz adding a second before the break following a Yeste corner. Llorente headed in another Yeste free kick after the restart and De Marcos made it four before Kalu Uche got one back from the penalty spot after Koikili fouled Ortíz.
