Five games will take place tonight (Sunday) in the 17th round of the Spanish league.
Biblau defeated Elche 0-1 and Atletico Madrid returned to the top after 0-1 against Alabs.
Later in the evening, Barcelona will try to recover from the draw with Eibar against the weak Huesca.
Alabs - Atletico Madrid 2: 1
The team from the Basque Country defeated Real Madrid this season and drew with Barcelona, but tonight they surrendered to Colcheneros 2: 1 at home.
Marcus Jornetta scored first in the 41st minute, but from the 63rd minute the host was left with ten players after Victor Laguardia was sent off with a direct red card.
Precisely with a numerical disadvantage, Alabs managed to equalize from an own goal by Felipe (84), but the last word belonged to Luis Suarez who scored in the 90th minute and ensured an athletic victory.
This is the fifth time this season that Diego Simeone's team has conceded a goal in the league, and so far it has conceded only six goals (!).
Following the result, Atletico returned to first place in the table, 2 points more than city rival Real who won yesterday, and with two games missing.
Athletic Bilbao - Elche 0: 1
Iker Muniain set up the game in the 25th minute, giving his team a sixth win of the season.
The Basques are now in ninth place with 21 points.
The visitors have not won in the league since October and are one point above the red line.
Later in the evening:
Eibar - Granada, Real Sociedad - Ossona, Huesca - Barcelona.
