Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal clashed in a LaLiga match that ended in a goalless draw, with Villarreal failing to capitalize on their chances. Despite playing a significant portion of the match with ten men after Pape Gueye's red card, Villarreal dominated possession and shot attempts but could not find the net. Notable moments included a disallowed goal for Villarreal due to handball after VAR review. While Bilbao struggled offensively, their defensive efforts helped preserve the draw, leaving Villarreal regretting missed opportunities.
Villarreal will look back on this contest as an opportunity missed to close the gap to the top four, having largely had the better of proceedings.
Bilbao had rarely threatened but were handed a chance to snatch all three points late on when Villarreal substitute Gueye was sent off.
