Nacho keeps Real Madrid's La Liga title hopes alive, scoring winner in 8/10 performance

Nacho scored as Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 1-0 on Sunday to keep their La Liga title hopes alive until the final day of the season.

The first half at San Mames saw not a single shot on target, as Athletic's defence kept Madrid at arm's length. The visitors were denied a penalty by referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz when Jon Morcillo handled Alvaro Odriozola's cross inside the box, while Athletic went closest when winger Alex Berenguer fired a low free kick wide.

The game improved after half-time.
