Athletic Bilbao secured their first win of the season by defeating Getafe 2-1 in their La Liga clash this afternoon.
The home side took the lead in the sixth minute when Aritz Aduriz latched on to Benat's cross into the box to head into the net from close range.
Getafe pressed to get back into the match and Angel Lafita and Emiliano Velazquez both went close to finding the target, but neither could find a way past Gorka Iraizoz.
Bilbao doubled their lead when Raul Garcia made a surging run into the box to get on the end of Markel Susaeta's cross and head the ball beyond Vicente Guaita.
In the second half, Getafe reduced the deficit when Alvaro Medran teed up Velazquez on the edge of the box and he found the bottom corner with his low strike.
Bilbao tried to restore their two-goal advantage as Aduriz rose highest in the area to head a free kick from Benat at goal, but his effort sailed over the bar.
However, Arduriz did notch his second goal of the match to seal the win for his side when he slotted the ball past Guatia after collecting Javier Eraso's through-ball.
