Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Athletic Club host Deportivo Alaves — let the battle begin!
  • 2' Controversy at the stadium! Mikel Vesga argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 7' Deportivo Alaves come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 12' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 17' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 17 minutes.
  • 22' Over 22 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 27' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 32' A quiet spell here at San Mames. Athletic Club seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 37' It looks surprising Athletic Club does not make any changes. Luis Rioja has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 42' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ander Capa, as he is very good at scoring at San Mames with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 46' That is a Yellow card for Deportivo Alaves. Florian Lejeune will be fuming at that decision.
  • 51' Athletic Club currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 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 Pacheco suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Athletic Club is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 63' Inaki Williams is replacing Asier Villalibre for the Athletic Club side.
  • 64' The crowd applauds Ibai as he leaves the pitch. Muniain steps in for Athletic Club.
  • 69' A tactical swap from Athletic Club — Alex Berenguer on, Jon Morcillo off on 69 minutes.
  • 74' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 75' Edgar Mendez gets the nod from Deportivo Alaves. He replaces Luis Rioja and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 78' A tactical swap from Deportivo Alaves — Manu on, Tomas Pina off on 78 minutes.
  • 83' Athletic Club is showing some good football. However, Athletic Club are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 85' The crowd applauds Lucas as he leaves the pitch. Borja Sainz steps in for Deportivo Alaves.
  • 90' Ander Capa has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
