Celta Vigo FC suffered their first loss of the season against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday in the Spanish La Liga. The match was a closely fought affair with both teams struggling to break through for the win.

The Celta started strongly as they took the lead early in the game after a stunning strike from Javier Mascherano. However, Athletic responded immediately and equalized with a powerful header from Luis Suárez. Despite a strong effort from Celta's defense, they could not find the back of the net as the second half approached.

In the second half, Celta tried to continue their attacking run but were unable to find the target. Athletic continued to press and create chances, but it was not enough to secure the victory. The result leaves the team with a two-point deficit at the top of the table.

This defeat is disappointing for Celta as they have struggled to keep up with their rivals in recent seasons. However, there is hope that the team can bounce back and improve its form next time out.

It remains to be seen how Athletic Bilbao will respond to this setback and whether they can recover from their defeat. The Spanish giants have shown resilience throughout the season and may be able to turn things around if they can get back into the mix.
