Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Athletic Club is hosting Villarreal CF for another epic battle.
5' Villarreal CF are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
10' A moment of madness from Benat Prados on 10 minutes earns him a card. Athletic Club will be frustrated.
15' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
20' It looks surprising Villarreal CF does not make any changes. Dani Parejo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
25' De Marcos has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
30' A quiet spell here at San Mames. Villarreal CF seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
31' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Inaki Williams on 31 minutes.
34' That looks like a foul for a card for Santi Comesana.
39' Oihan Sancet has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
44' Athletic Club currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
46' That looks like a foul for a card for Santi Comesana.
51' 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.
55' Villarreal CF ring the changes. Gerard Moreno has done his job and it is now time for Alfonso Pedraza to step up.
60' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
65' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
66' Oihan Sancet makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Athletic Club are in front.
69' The Villarreal CF bench stirs into life. Alberto Moreno is withdrawn and Goncalo Guedes gets his opportunity.
70' The crowd applauds Nico Williams as he leaves the pitch. Alex Berenguer steps in for Athletic Club.
75' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
77' A tactical swap from Athletic Club — Muniain on, Oihan Sancet off on 77 minutes.
82' It’s high time Ernesto Valverde made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
87' The travelling Villarreal CF supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
90' Poor challenge from Yuri Berchiche. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
The final score is 1-1.
