    Time:90'
    • Athletic Club
    • Recreativo de Huelva
    • 90+4 And that is the end, a good win for Athletic, 2-0, they go 12th and Recre stay in the bottom three with no goals in six matches.
    • 90+2 Nice ball through to Yeste from Orbaiz but he can't quite get his foot around it.
    • 90' In four minutes of added time.
    • 86' Gerard is booked for that challenge.
    • 86' Gabilondo is down injured after getting Gerard's boot in the face.
    • 85' Surging run from Caceres wins a corner for Recre... then Aitor gets a chance about 25 yards out and hammers it low and the bounce almost deceives Iraizoz but he holds on.
    • 84' Yeste with a superb backheel but Gabilondo can't get on the end of it.
    • 81' Yeste has a chance with a free-kick but sends it into the wall...
    • 79' ATHLETIC SUB: Etxeberria comes off to a standing ovation for Fran Yeste, returning from injury.
    • 77' An Athletic counter as Llorente finds Etxeberria who is brought down on the edge of the box by Beto, yellow card.
    • 76' ATHLETIC SUB: Aduriz off for Llorente.
    • 76' Orbaiz booked for backchat.
    • 74' Marcitos on the ball after a slip from an Athletic defender, he holds it up and slides it through to Guerrero who shoots but blocked!
    • 73' Gabilondo is now booked for pulling back Marcitos, who then has a really good chance but spoons a shot in the air.
    • 70' Javi Martinez is lying on the deck holding his back after getting a knee from Jesus Vazquez in a, ahem, robust challenge.
    • 67' Sinama is lucky not to walk after an elbow is stuck out and bloodies Koikili's nose.
    • 64' Etxeberria is in the thick of it all as he gets booked for a roughouse tackle on Bautista.
    • 63' Sorrentino goes some way to redeeming himself with a great save from Etxeberria to deny him the hat-trick.
    • 62' Sorrentino makes a hash of claiming the high ball and he drops it for Etxeberria to poke in on the line for his and Athletic's second! Recre think it's a foul, challenging the keeper is fine if you are going for the ball and keep your arms down but normally refs bottle it and favour the keeper if you go anywhere near him.
    • 59' Etxeberria with a great run on the right, he cuts it back to Susaeta on the edge of the box but he side-foots it well-wide! Good chance should have made the keeper Sorrentino work.
    • 58' Nice counter from Recre sees Sinama free on the right but his cross is blocked for a corner... Aitor takes but cleared at the near post.
    • 57' Vazquez is booked for a late tackle.
    • 56' After much chat between both sides and ref the free-kick is taken but a terrible effort is sent miles over by Guerrero.
    • 54' Gabilondo is penalised for a high foot on Sinama and a free-kick to recre about 25 yards out, very central...
    • 51' Iraola on the right, great run and he hits the low cross to the back post AND ETXEBERRIA WITH THE SLIDING FINISH INTO THE ROOF OF THE NET FOR 1-0! And the least they've deserved.
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 45+1 And that's the break, a good half from Athletic but still goalless!
    • 45' Good attack by the hosts as Aduriz gets it on the edge of the box, and back to goal slides it across to Etxeberria on the left but just too heavy for him!
    • 40' Brilliant run from Gabilondo after a through ball by Orbaiz, he weaves in and out and can he find the final ball for Aduriz, but no he's tackled on the edge of the box and Recre clear.
    • 25' Gabilondo on the left and he tries the shot but blocked by Sorrentino for a corner!
    • 22' Etxeberria complains after being pulled back for offside but the decision was good.
    • 16' Recre counter from the clearance, long through to Sinama who has pace and could be in but Iraizoz gets back to intercept and Athletic clean up at the back.
    • 15' Orbaiz with a great ball in for Aduriz but saved by Sorrentino!
    • 12' Aduriz has a shot but straight at Sorrentino. The home side asking all the questions here.
    • 10' Susaeta races clear of the Recre defence on the left, he's in on goal and drives it past the onrushing Sorrentino but it shaves the post and goes wide!
    • 7' Sorrentino comes flying out to meet a cross and Aduriz tries the header but is clattered by the Recre keeper! The crowd bay for a penalty but nothing given!
    • 1' Match underway in Bilbao!
