  • 20' A quiet spell here at RCDE Stadium. RCD Espanyol de Barcelona seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 25' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is showing some good football. However, RCD Espanyol de Barcelona are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' The 37-year-old Iturraspe has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
