Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Athletic Club host Levante UD — let the battle begin!
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Levante UD is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 15' A quiet spell here at San Mames. Athletic Club seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 20' 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 Melero suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Athletic Club and Levante UD are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' The travelling Levante UD supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' Hernani needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 46' Brilliant from the ! Postigo makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 45.
- 46' A change in the Athletic Club ranks — Inigo Cordoba exits the field as Ibai enters on 46.
- 49' Poor challenge from Enis Bardhi. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 54' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Levante UD winning 0% of all matches.
- 57' What a moment for Muniain! That strike on 57 puts his side firmly in control.
- 62' Athletic Club receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 62.
- 67' San Jose is replacing Unai Lopez for the Athletic Club side.
- 72' 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.
- 75' Controversy at the stadium! Ruben Vezo argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 76' Hernani has so much to prove this time. He replaces Borja Mayoral on 76 minute.
- 78' Ander Capa is having his name booked by the referee on 78.
- 81' Another substitution for Levante UD to replace Melero by Nikola Vukcevic on 81 minute.
- 86' 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.
- 87' Another substitution for Levante UD to replace Jose Luis Morales by Roger Marti on 87 minute.
- 88' Goal! Ander Capa scores his 5 goal in 339 matches.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
