Alejandro Berenguer slammed home a first-half penalty as Athletic Bilbao claimed a 1-0 first-leg lead over Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-final.
Berenguer scored the winner from 12 yards in the 25th minute after Benat Prados was brought down inside the box.
Atletico banged on the door in the second half to avoid taking a defeat into the return leg and missed chances through Antoine Griezmann, Samuel Lino and Alvaro Morata.
The hosts thought they had a last-minute penalty but a VAR offside call denied them.
