Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. RC Celta de Vigo kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. RC Celta de Vigo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Carlos Dotor has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 15' 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 Jonathan Bamba suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gorka Guruzeta, as he is very good at scoring at San Mames with 11 goals in the last 9 games.
- 25' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Iago Aspas makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 35' The home supporters are growing impatient. Athletic Club must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 37' Goal! Oihan Sancet scores his 46 goal in 339 matches.
- 39' Iago Aspas was booked on 39.
- 41' GOAL! Jonathan Bamba scores on 41.
- 46' Athletic Club have won 401 goals from 339 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 50' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Gorka Guruzeta makes it 2-2.
- 52' The deadlock is broken! Gorka Guruzeta gets on the scoresheet on 52 minutes.
- 53' What a strike from Gorka Guruzeta! The score is 4-2.

- 66' Assisted by Iago Aspas with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jorgen Strand Larsen makes no mistake. 4-3!
- 69' Luca de la Torre has so much to prove this time. He replaces Fran Beltran on 69 minute.
- 74' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. De Marcos made 339 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 79' Daniel Vivian is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Athletic Club tonight.
- 80' It is a substitution in Athletic Club team. Inaki Williams is replaced by Alex Berenguer on 80 minute.

- 86' Unai Gomez gets the nod from Athletic Club. He replaces Oihan Sancet and will look to change the dynamic.
- 89' Anastasios Douvikas has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jorgen Strand Larsen on 89 minute.
