Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Club Atletico de Madrid kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It’s high time Ernesto Valverde made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Nico Williams has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 16 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 20' It looks surprising Club Atletico de Madrid does not make any changes. Inaki Williams has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' The 31-year-old Marcos Llorente has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 30' Club Atletico de Madrid fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Yuri Berchiche is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Athletic Club.
- 40' The home supporters are growing impatient. Athletic Club must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 45' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 46' The crowd applauds Nahuel Molina as he leaves the pitch. Rodrigo de Paul steps in for Club Atletico de Madrid.
- 49' Poor challenge from Rodrigo de Paul. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 51' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Gorka Guruzeta makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Unai Simon suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' The Club Atletico de Madrid bench stirs into life. Antoine Griezmann is withdrawn and Angel Correa gets his opportunity.
- 64' GOAL! Nico Williams scores on 64.
- 67' Azpilicueta is replacing Alvaro Morata for the Club Atletico de Madrid side.
- 72' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 77' It is a substitution in Athletic Club team. Benat Prados is replaced by Mikel Vesga on 77 minute.
- 82' It looks like no one’s ball. Club Atletico de Madrid is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 85' Time for substitution for Athletic Club. Oihan Sancet is replaced by Unai Gomez.
- 90' Another substitution for Athletic Club to replace Nico Williams by Alex Berenguer on 90 minute.
- The points are shared — Athletic Club 2-0 Club Atletico de Madrid. Honours even.
