- 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Girona FC and Athletic Club are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

- 15' Athletic Club fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
