Two second-half goals from Vicente and Coke a piece ensured that Unai Emery's men stay amongst the big boys in the top four of the table. Goals were hard to come by at the Estadio Mediterráneo but defensive midfielder Vicente La Fuente opened the scoring in the 57th minute with a well-placed effort that curled beyond the goalkeeper Julian into the bottom corner of the net. Colombian striker Carlos Bacca was credit with the assist, after a tireless run inside the box before he teed off his team-mate to break the deadlock.
