Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Athletic Club gets underway.
- 5' Deportivo Alaves are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' Athletic Club is showing some good football. However, Athletic Club are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 14' The referee has no hesitation. Dani Garcia is booked for Athletic Club — Yellow card on 14.
- 19' Spain international Manu has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 24' Athletic Club fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 29' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Deportivo Alaves and Athletic Club are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 34' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Athletic Club that had 328 games and scored 386 goals.
- 44' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 46' Ruben Sobrino is replacing John Guidetti for the Deportivo Alaves side.
- 47' Inigo Martinez is having his name booked by the referee on 47.
- 48' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Inigo Martinez on 48 minutes.
- 53' 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 Laguardia suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' Ruben Duarte catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 58.
- 62' The Athletic Club bench stirs into life. Inigo Kerejeta is withdrawn and Muniain gets his opportunity.
- 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
- 68' Athletic Club ring the changes. Aduriz has done his job and it is now time for Inaki Williams to step up.
- 73' Another change for Deportivo Alaves made on 73 minute. Ibai leaves to be changed by Borja Baston.
- 74' Athletic Club manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. San Jose is hanging Benat on the field on 74 minute.
- 79' Tomas Pina has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 35 cards already picked up this season.
- 84' Deportivo Alaves are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Athletic Club backline.
- 85' The crowd applauds Jony as he leaves the pitch. Burgui steps in for Deportivo Alaves.
- 87' The referee has no hesitation. Borja Baston is booked for Deportivo Alaves — Yellow card on 87.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
