10' A meaty challenge results in booking for Javi Rueda on 10.
15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gorka Guruzeta, as he is very good at scoring at San Mames Barria with 10 goals in the last 8 games.
20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
25' 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 Javi Rueda suffering a number of foals already.
30' 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.
35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Javi Rodriguez made 320 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
38' The referee shows Athletic Club player a card on 38.
42' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ionut Radu on 42.

62' Athletic Club started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 62.
67' 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.
68' It’s a booking for Athletic Club player. Aymeric Laporte gets a card.
73' Ferran Jutgla needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
78' It looks surprising Athletic Club does not make any changes. Alex Berenguer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
83' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RC Celta de Vigo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
