Events

Match Events

  • 5' A quiet spell here at San Mames. RC Celta de Vigo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' The 34-year-old Nestor Araujo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RC Celta de Vigo that had 320 games and scored 375 goals.
  • 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 Inaki Williams suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' It is a cagey affair so far. Athletic Club in their trying to find a way past RC Celta de Vigo's compact .
  • 26' That is a Yellow card for Athletic Club. Unai Nunez will be fuming at that decision.
  • 31' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 36' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 41' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Athletic Club side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 46' Another substitution for Athletic Club to replace Yuri Berchiche by Balenziaga on 46 minute.
  • 51' Athletic Club are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined RC Celta de Vigo backline.
  • 53' The referee calls foul for Jeison Murillo. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 58' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 61' Magnificent from Hugo Mallo! That is 8 goals in 320 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 62' Unai Lopez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Unai Vencedor Paris on 62 minute.
  • 67' Both keepers have barely been tested. Athletic Club and RC Celta de Vigo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 71' Joseph Aidoo gets the nod from RC Celta de Vigo. He replaces Nolito and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 76' Athletic Club 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.
  • 78' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Iago Aspas makes it 0-2.
  • 79' Jon Morcillo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Muniain on 79 minute.
  • 84' The referee has no hesitation. Mikel Vesga is booked for Athletic Club — Yellow card on 84.
  • 88' The RC Celta de Vigo manager makes a substitution. Iago Aspas departs to be replaced by Fran Beltran.
  • 90' Miguel Baeza has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brais Mendez on 90 minute.
  • Athletic Club will have plenty to reflect on. RC Celta de Vigo were simply the better side today.
