Real Madrid on Sunday, July 5, took another step in their efforts to win the 2019/20 Spanish La Liga title after they beat hosts Athletic Bilbao 1-0 in tough encounter.
Going into the tie, Zidane and his wards knew that a win will surely help them on the La Liga standings with Barcelona still occupying second position on the table.
But this victory did not come on a silver platter as Real Madrid laboured so hard before they got the three maximum points against Athletic Bilbao.
The hosts had the first chance to score in the 13th minute through Unai Lopez who got a brilliant pass from Williams, but he was unable to beat Courtois in goal for Real Madrid.
Los Blancos came close towards scoring in the 20th minute when Asensio directed great pass to Karim Benzema whose shot was parried away by Unai Simon.
First half ended goalless with both sides finding it difficult to break the deadlock.
