Athletic Bilbao triumphed over Almeria in their latest match, securing a crucial victory that puts them back into the top four of La Liga.

The game was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating chances throughout the match. However, it was Athletic Bilbao who were able to break the deadlock early on, thanks to a well-taken goal from the feet of Arturo Vidal.

The Argentine winger then played a key role in Athletic's second goal, providing a pinpoint cross for Iker Muniain to head home and put the hosts ahead.

Almeria responded strongly, however, and had several chances to equalise. But Athletic Bilbao's defense stood firm, and they were able to hold on for the win.

For Athletic Bilbao, this result is particularly important as they look to regain momentum after a disappointing run of form earlier in the season. The win also sees them move level on points with Real Madrid and Barcelona, who have a game in hand, in fourth place.

Overall, it was a solid performance from Athletic Bilbao, who showed great composure and determination against a tough opponent. They will now hope to build on this success and continue their push for a top-four finish.
