BILBAO DEFEAT
Alaves beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 in a match between the bottom two to register
a first win in the San Mames stadium, spoiling Javier Clemente's first home game
back in charge.
Clemente, who led Bilbao to their last league title in 1984, took over from
Jose Luis Mendilibar three weeks ago to try and haul the Basque side off the
foot of the table.
But goals from Brazilian midfielder Nene after seven minutes and striker
Rodolfo Bodipo in the 90th left Clemente with one point from his first two
games.
The home side's Fran Yeste put a penalty over the bar with seven minutes
remaining.
Clemente said: "We must learn how to play without fear and how to impose
ourselves on a game. On top of that we cannot afford to panic when things go
wrong."
Bilbao, without a win in 11 games, are three points adrift at the bottom with
seven points. Betis are now one place above them with 10 points while Alaves
climbed to 18th on 11.
