  • 15' It’s gonna be a card for Aymeric Laporte.
  • 20' 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.
  • 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' Nico Williams has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 4 goals this season.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Athletic Club is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gorka Guruzeta made 328 appearances and scored 34 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
