Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Athletic Club and Real Betis Balompié get this one started.
- 2' The Brazil Willian Jose breaks the deadlock on 2 minutes. 0-1!
- 7' Athletic Club is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Isco makes no mistake. 0-2!
- 15' 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.

- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Athletic Club needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 30' Magnificent from Mikel Vesga! That is 10 goals in 211 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 35' 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 Luiz Felipe suffering a number of foals already.

- 59' Athletic Club receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 59.
- 61' A moment of madness from Ruiz de Galarreta on 61 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Athletic Club will be frustrated.

- 79' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Mikel Vesga.
- 84' Brilliant from the midfielder! Unai Gomez makes it 4-2 with a superb finish on 84.
