Real Madrid stumble to defeat in Bilbao

07 March 2015 19:31

Real Madrid's poor form in 2015 continued as they were beaten 1-0 by Athletic Bilbao. Aritz Aduriz scored the only goal of the game midway through the first-half with a thumping header from Mikel Rico's cross.

Madrid's third defeat in 11 league games means that Barcelona can move one point clear at the top of the table with victory over Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.

The hosts went in front on 26 minutes when a lovely team move ended with Aduriz powering home a wonderful header from Mikel Rico's floated cross.
