Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at San Mames!
  • 5' 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 De Marcos suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mikel Vesga made 209 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Elche CF needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Elche CF that had 244 games and scored 245 goals.
  • 25' Goal! Muniain scores his 29 goal in 334 matches.
  • 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 36' Unai Vencedor Paris was booked on 36.
  • 41' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 44' Antonio Barragan was booked on 44.
  • 46' A change in the Elche CF ranks — Guido Carrillo exits the field as Lucas Boye enters on 46.
  • 50' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Yuri Berchiche.
  • 55' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 60' Both keepers have barely been tested. Athletic Club and Elche CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 65' Athletic Club started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 65.
  • 66' A change in the Athletic Club ranks — Unai Vencedor Paris exits the field as Dani Garcia enters on 66.
  • 71' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Athletic Club and Elche CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 76' The home supporters are growing impatient. Athletic Club must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 78' Nino is ready to make an impact after coming on for Raul Guti at the 78 minute mark.
  • 82' Time for substitution for Athletic Club. Muniain is replaced by Inigo Lekue.
  • 87' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Athletic Club players.
