Athletic Bilbao defeated Las Palmas 1-0 in a crucial La Liga match on Sunday, securing their position as the top team in the league.

The game was dominated by Athletic Bilbao's attacking play, which saw them dominate possession and create numerous chances to score. However, it wasn't until the final minute that they finally broke through. A set piece from the right wing found its way into the goal, giving Athletic Bilbao a deserved victory.

Las Palmas, who had been struggling in recent matches, were caught off guard by Athletic Bilbao's attack and couldn't find an answer. The result leaves Athletic Bilbao at the top of the table with a comfortable 24 points, while Las Palmas remain in fifth place with 17 points.

Athletic Bilbao's win is particularly significant given the competition for Champions League spots. With just four games left in the season, Athletic Bilbao will need to continue their strong form if they want to secure a spot in the tournament.

In the meantime, Las Palmas will have to work hard to catch up with their rivals and avoid relegation. They'll face another tough test next week when they visit Real Madrid.

Overall, this result was a testament to Athletic Bilbao's superior form and their ability to capitalize on opportunities. It also highlights the importance of set pieces in football, as they can be crucial moments in deciding the outcome of a game.
