It was Velena who scored 1 goal for Espanyol and Sanchet and Inigo Martinez who scored 2 goals for Athletic Bilbao, and the two teams played very well in the game, and espanyol lost in poor ability to take chances.
In this matchup, the Spaniards passively rotated, the top scorer is also the team's historical champion De Thomas was suspended because of the red card in the last round, Di Mata replaced De Thomas as the starting center, Andreina, Puado and Melendo formed a three-back, Dadel. Moranes paired with a double back, Pedrosa, Cabrera, Serhi Gomez, Oscar Hill with four defenders, goalkeeper Diego López, this set of starting 11 people is worth 48.7 million euros, and Athletic Bilbao's starting lineup is worth nearly 100 million euros.
In the game, the Spaniard grabbed the start, the game took the lead in 2 minutes, Puado launched a quick counterattack from the right side, and the cross directly assisted Verena in the box to score a powerful shot, and the Spaniard led 1-0.

In the 15th minute of the match, Athletic Bilbao miraculously reversed the scoreline, Vivian crossed inside the box, Inigo Martinez inserted a header in front of the ribs on the left side of the box, and Athletic Bilbao made espanyol 2-1.
As the game progressed, the problem of Di Mata's sluggish state became more and more obvious, in the 62nd minute of the game, Molon came on for Di Mata, and in the 74th minute of the game, coach Vicente Moreno sent Wu Lei to replace the offensive hero Villena. Wu Lei did not appear in the previous 7 rounds of La Liga matches, this time the appearance was very active, 16 minutes had a lot of eye-catching performances, the 84th minute of the game, Wu Lei instigated the attack, over the top pass accurately to find the front of the Molon, but unfortunately Mo Long did not carry the defender to control the ball, was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
In the 85th minute of the game, Wu Lei broke away from the defender and broke forward, and Alace Pecciaroman put Down Wu Lei directly from behind and received a yellow card.

Espanyol had 54 percent of the ball in the game, 7-8 and 4-6 on goal from Athletic Bilbao, which turned into a 1-2 defeat. According to the statistics of the record, the Spaniards have given birth to 2 major humiliating records, the first and last 5 consecutive games without a win, 1 draw and 4 defeats, successively 1-2 Elche, 1-2 Mallorca, 2-2 Cadiz, 1-4 Real Betis, 1-2 Athletic Bilbao, of which the 1-2 loss to Mallorca is the 1/8 final of the Copa del Rey, so espanyol has recently been a double-line avalanche in Copa del Rey and La Liga; second, espanyol has recently conceded goals in 12 consecutive games, the defense is full of holes, and the attack is becoming weaker. The problem of insufficient lineup thickness is getting worse and worse.
The schedule shows that Espanyol coach Vicente Moreno is afraid to lead the team to suffer five consecutive defeats, and has recently lost 2 consecutive games, and the next three rounds of La Liga opponents are Barca, Sevilla and Villarreal, and the possibility of losing 5 consecutive games is very high. At present, the Espanyol's points stop at 27 points, slipping to 13th place in La Liga, 9 points more than Cadiz in the relegation zone, 4 points more than Mallorca in La Liga 17th, and once the Spaniards suffer a five-game losing streak, the points will surely approach the relegation zone, which means that Espanyol coach Vicente Moreno is at risk of being laid off. The previous Spaniard managers have almost always left the class after a wave of winless or losing streaks.
