The 17th round of the Spanish league continues today (Sunday) with an early game in which Athletic Bilbao defeated Elche 0: 1. Despite this, after the game the club announced that coach Gaiska Garritano was fired from his post. Later, Atletico Madrid defeated Deportivo Alavés 1: 2 in the 90th minute and returned to the top, in what may be one of the significant games in the title race of the season.

Alabs – Atletico Madrid 2: 1
What a tremendous drama in the Basque Country. Less than 24 hours after Real Madrid passed them on the way to first place, the Colchoneros returned to the Spanish top with an important victory achieved in the 90th minute. Diego Simeone’s side have collected three more points (fourth straight win) and are looking at the city rival with a two-point lead and two games missing in the balance.

In the 41st minute Atletico came out on top, Luis Suarez found Marcus Jornetta outside the box and the Spanish midfielder managed to find the corner and scored. The guest’s advantage lasted until the 84th minute, when the brakeman Felipe scored an own goal and equalized. But in the 90th minute came the moment that might at the end of the season be remembered as one of the significant ones in the title race. Joao Felix delivered a wide delivery and Suarez closely pushed the winning goal.

Note the following statistic: No player in La Liga has scored more goals this season than Suarez (9), the player that Barcelona did not want.

Athletic Bilbao – Elche 0: 1
After two disappointing games, the Basques returned to the winning track and scored three precious points that place them at the top of the table. On the other hand, after the surprising draw against Real Madrid, the humble guest recorded a tenth consecutive game without a win and as things stand: she may find herself back in the sub-league at the end of the season.

The only goal of the game was scored by Iker Muniain. In the 25th minute, the local midfielder took advantage of a great wide delivery from Oscar de Marcus and continued close to the net. This is Monayin’s third goal of the season, a goal worth winning.

Despite the victory, at the end of the game Bilbao announced that coach Gaiska Garritano had been fired. Despite the points she has accumulated, Bilbao is in ninth place after 17 rounds, with six wins, three draws and eight losses – and the coach has paid the price. Meanwhile, Marcelino has signed as Bilbao’s new coach and will sign until 2022. The first Valencia game is expected to be against Barcelona.


Real Sociedad – Osasuna 1: 1
The Basques may have won last round, but have only done so once in eight games, and after the start of the wonderful season continue to fake. Despite the disappointing draw against the team ranked below the red line, Sociedad is ranked third, but played more times than all the teams that followed. Osasuna took the lead in the 20th minute from a Jonathan Calari goal, but Ender Brancha scored at the start of the second half (46) and set up the final score.

Eibar – Granada 0: 2
First win for the Basques after five rounds and three points that lifted them to 11th place. In contrast, the guest was stopped and suffered its sixth loss this season, but is still ranked seventh and honorable. After a zeroed half, 19-year-old Brian Chail went into action and scored a double (55 and 76) en route to victory.
