  • 5' Timothy Ouma has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 6' Adama Boiro puts Athletic Club on the lead.
  • 11' 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 Nico Williams suffering a number of foals already.
  • 16' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Arber Zeneli made 369 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
