Athletic Bilbao welcomed Almeria to San Mames on Saturday looking to make it five straight wins in all competitions.
At the interval, the home side were 2-0 ahead courtesy of goals from Xabier Etxeita and Mikel Rico.
Almeria were back in the match moments into the second period when Bilbao defender Mikel Balenziaga deflected a Wellington Silva effort past his own goalkeeper.
The visitors could not find a second, however, and finished the game with 10 men following a late red card for Fran Velez.
