Match Events

  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Athletic Club is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 6' The Spain defender Adama Boiro breaks the deadlock on 6 minutes. 1-0!

  • 21' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Inaki Williams.
  • 24' What composure from Benat Prados! The Spain international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 29' It’s high time Oscar Hiljemark made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' That is a card for IF Elfsborg. Ibrahim Buhari will be fuming at that decision.
  • 35' IF Elfsborg seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 40' Arber Zeneli has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 376 appearances.
  • 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering IF Elfsborg that had 8 games and scored 11 goals.
  • 46' A tactical swap from IF Elfsborg — Timothy Ouma on, Ibrahim Buhari off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' IF Elfsborg are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 53' Gorka Guruzeta makes no mistake. The score reads 3-0 and Athletic Club are in front.
  • 56' The Athletic Club bench stirs into life. Inaki Williams is withdrawn and Alex Berenguer gets his opportunity.
  • 57' A tactical swap from Athletic Club — Ander Herrera on, Ruiz de Galarreta off on 57 minutes.
  • 62' Athletic Club are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against IF Elfsborg's shape.
  • 63' A change in the Athletic Club ranks — Nico Williams exits the field as Nico Serrano enters on 63.
  • 68' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Terry Yegbe made 8 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 72' Fresh legs for IF Elfsborg! Rami Kaib comes on to replace Ahmed Qasem.
  • 76' A change in the Athletic Club ranks — Adama Boiro exits the field as Inigo Lekue enters on 76.
  • 81' It looks surprising IF Elfsborg does not make any changes. Andri Baldursson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 86' IF Elfsborg is showing some good football. However, IF Elfsborg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Athletic Club players.
