Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Athletic Club host Deportivo Alaves — let the battle begin!
- 5' Athletic Club is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' Carlos Martin has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-4-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Deportivo Alaves is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Athletic Club currently sit 4 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 33' Alvaro Djalo picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 38' Both keepers have barely been tested. Athletic Club and Deportivo Alaves are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 43' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 48' Ruiz de Galarreta has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 53' 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 Alvaro Djalo suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' Athletic Club manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Unai Gomez is hanging Alvaro Djalo on the field on 56 minute.
- 61' The travelling Deportivo Alaves supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 66' Deportivo Alaves are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 67' Oihan Sancet is ready to make an impact after coming on for Peio Canales at the 67 minute mark.
- 71' Manuel Sanchez adds to his 0 season tally! Deportivo Alaves lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 72' Another substitution for Deportivo Alaves to replace Manuel Sanchez by Nahuel Tenaglia on 72 minute.
- 77' The Deportivo Alaves bench stirs into life. Antonio Blanco is withdrawn and Carlos Martin gets his opportunity.
- 82' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 87' Time for substitution for Deportivo Alaves. Jon Guridi is replaced by Pau Cabanes.
- 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Ander Guevara.
- 90' Mikel Vesga gets the nod from Athletic Club. He replaces Ruiz de Galarreta and will look to change the dynamic.
