  • 10' A quiet spell here at San Mames Barria. Athletic Club seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.

  • 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' Giovani Lo Celso makes way for Trigueros at the 25 minute mark. A tactical switch from Villarreal CF.
  • 29' Athletic Club manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Inigo Lekue is hanging De Marcos on the field on 29 minute.
