As part of the fourth day of La Liga, Atlético de Madrid traveled to San Mamès (Bilbao) to challenge Athletic Bilbao, at 7 p.m. For this clash, Diego Simeone had chosen to line up a duo of Antoine Griezmann-Julián Álvarez in attack, leaving Alexander Sørloth on the bench. On the Athletic Club side, the Iñaki brothers and Nico Williams were lined up to enter through Ernesto Valverde. In a balanced match, it was Atlético who won the victory, thanks to a goal from Angel Correa (90th + 2), on a pass from Sørloth. The Argentinian had come into play four minutes earlier. Thanks to this success, the Colchoneros come back to 4 points from Barça and relegate the Basques to 10th place in the standings.

At the same time, Espanyol Barcelona hosted Rayo Vallecano at the Front Stadium. Still looking for its first victory for its return to the Spanish elite, the Catalan club responded tit for tat to the visitors thanks to Romero (1-1, 8th), who had opened the scoring in the 4th minute via Garcia (0-1). With character, the promoted team snatched the three points at the end of added time, Veliz allowing his team to get out of the red zone (2-1, 90th+8).
