Raul Garcia scored the only goal of the game as Athletic Bilbao defeated Valencia 1-0 in their Europa League round of 16 first leg tie on Thursday.
The 29-year-old turned home in the 20th minute to give Ernesto Valverde's men a vital victory, with the home side adapting better to rain-soaked conditions at San Mames.
Valencia had numerous chances to level proceedings throughout the match but Gary Neville was left to rue his side's profligacy ahead of the second leg at Mestalla.
