Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds San Mames Barria will turn into a battlefield for Athletic Club and RC Celta de Vigo.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Daniel Vivian, a Spain , has 24 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 11' Iago Aspas adds to his 1 season tally! RC Celta de Vigo lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 16' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nestor Araujo made 324 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 21' Athletic Club is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 26' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RC Celta de Vigo that had 324 games and scored 376 goals.
- 31' Over 31 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 36' The home supporters are growing impatient. Athletic Club must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 37' A goal from the Spain international Fran Beltran! He fires home on 37 to make it 0-2!
- 41' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Alex Petxa on 41 minutes.
- 46' Athletic Club make a change. Mikel Vesga trudges off to be replaced by Oier Zarraga on 46 minutes.
- 51' 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 Jeison Murillo suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kevin Vazquez on 52.
- 57' Carlos Dominguez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 324 appearances.
- 62' The referee calls foul for Muniain. He receives a Yellow card.
- 67' The travelling RC Celta de Vigo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 68' Raul Garcia is ready to make an impact after coming on for Muniain at the 68 minute mark.
- 72' The Athletic Club manager makes a substitution. Asier Villalibre departs to be replaced by Nico Serrano.
- 73' A tactical swap from RC Celta de Vigo — Renato Tapia on, Franco Cervi off on 73 minutes.
- 74' Time for substitution for RC Celta de Vigo. Kevin Vazquez is replaced by Jeison Murillo.
- 79' The energy levels are beginning to show. Marcelino Garcia might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 84' 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.
- 88' The RC Celta de Vigo bench stirs into life. Denis Suarez is withdrawn and Augusto Solari gets his opportunity.
- 90' It’s a booking for RC Celta de Vigo player. Renato Tapia gets a Yellow card.
- 90' RC Celta de Vigo ring the changes. Joseph Aidoo has done his job and it is now time for Carlos Dominguez to step up.
- The referee brings this contest to a close. RC Celta de Vigo take all three points.
