Fernando Llorente's early header proved the difference between
the sides as Athletic Bilbao pulled off a shock win over Real Madrid
in the Primera Division.
Spain striker Llorente nodded home from a corner after just two
minutes and the home team held on for a fine win, Athletic goalkeeper
Gorka Iraizoz denying the visitors with a string of great saves.
The Basques were reduced to 10 men in stoppage time when Carlos
Gurpegi was sent off for a second bookable offence but there was
no time for the capital club to capitalise on their numerical advantage.
