Friday Recap
Athletic Club gave their fans something to cheer about late in the second half against the Catalans.
Benfica loanee Facundo Ferreyra had scored the visitors after just nine minutes, and it appeared the goal could carry them to victory.
The hosts dominated possession throughout the contest but lacked a cutting edge to find the back of the net.
Inaki Williams missed a header in the first half, underlining Athletic Club's lack of accuracy in the box.
Roberto Rosales almost doubled Espanyol's advantage on the stroke of half-time, but the home side stayed in touch into the second half.
Raul Garcia was menacing for Bilbao after the interval, and it was the experienced forward who rescued a point.
The 32-year-old headed home Ibai Gomez's cross at nine minutes remaining, and relief swept around the San Mames Stadium.
Espanyol accepted their fate, but there was still time for the hosts to almost steal a winner through Garcia.
The attacker once again linked with Gomez, but his header was saved with two minutes remaining.
