Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. FC Barcelona is hosting Athletic Club for another epic battle.
  • 5' De Marcos has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Unai Gomez made 339 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 16' The referee calls foul for Pablo Gavira. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 21' With 4 assists to his name this season, Alex Berenguer is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Athletic Club.
  • 26' Inigo Lekue has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuri Berchiche on 26 minute.
  • 31' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Barcelona and Athletic Club are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 36' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Barcelona that had 529 games and scored 827 goals.
  • 37' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dani Garcia on 37.
  • 41' FC Barcelona receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 41.
  • 46' Over 46 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 51' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ernesto Valverde might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 56' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Barcelona in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Athletic Club's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 60' A tactical swap from FC Barcelona — Lamine Yamal on, Oriol Romeu off on 60 minutes.
  • 65' FC Barcelona are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Athletic Club backline.
  • 67' Another change for Athletic Club made on 67 minute. Ruiz de Galarreta leaves to be changed by Benat Prados.
  • 72' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 73' Athletic Club receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 73.
  • 76' It is a substitution in Athletic Club team. Nico Williams is replaced by Alex Berenguer on 76 minute.
  • 77' Nico Williams makes way for Alex Berenguer at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from Athletic Club.
  • 79' Marc Guiu gets the nod from FC Barcelona. He replaces Fermin Lopez and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 80' GOAL! Marc Guiu fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 83' Marc Guiu is having his name booked by the referee on 83.
  • 88' It looks surprising FC Barcelona does not make any changes. Oihan Sancet has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 89' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for De Marcos on 89 minutes.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Athletic Club.
