Aritz Aduriz Rescues a Point for Athletic as They Spoil Valencia's Visit
Athletic's striker came to its rescue once again as hosts scored late to save a draw in a game which could prove costly to Valencia.

Valencia looked on its way to acquiring a valuable three points at San Mames before Athletic Bilbao's main scoring option, Aritz Aduriz, netted a controversial equalizer in the 90th minute which could prove very damaging for Los Che in their bid to get an automatic Champions League qualifying spot.
The draw means Valencia only close to winthin 3 points of Atletico Madrid, while Athletic remain in 8th position.
Rodrigo de Paul scored after a beautiful build up just after the hour mark in a game in which both teams provide grit and quality in equal measure.
Athletic, however, would not quit and a mixup in the Valencia box late in the game resulted in a tap in by Aduriz, albeit controversially: replays showed the striker to be in a clear offside position.
