    Time:90'
    • Athletic Club
    • Sevilla
    • 90+3 The final whistle blows. Athletic overpower Sevilla 2-0 and the win moves them up from 17th to ninth.
    • 90' We're into stoppage time, and yes, all the usual iberian timewasting tactics are coming in to play.
    • 88' Duda hits a Sevilla free kick high and wide. Never mind eh mate. It's not just you that's been bad today. Renato, for example, has been far worse.
    • 87' The stats show Sevilla have had 58 per cent of the possession today. Somehow I don't think so.
    • 86' Athletic hit a long ball down the field... and de Sanctis has to come miles out of his area Rene Higuita-style to make the clearance.
    • 84' Athletic substitution: Aduriz is replaced by Fernando LLorente.
    • 82' Athletic break on the left... but Duda does alright to win the ball back.
    • 79' Lopez has the ball in the box for Athletic. He chips in a cross for Susaeta, who has to lean back while trying a headed chance... not this time as De Sanctis catches it.
    • 76' Renato and Dudu combine... DUDA WITH A SHOT.. IT'S OFF THE SIDE NETTING. Poor effort. He should have gone for placement rather than power. It would have been a great last quarter hour had he hit the target.
    • 74' High tackle from Navas on Javi Martinez.
    • 73' Sevilla are still giving this a go. Alves crosses in for Juanjo in the box... Ocio clears it away easily.
    • 72' Yeste crosses in for Aduriz... He takes it down on his chest... but Fazio just manages to take it off him. The striker is claiming a penalty. Come off it.
    • 70' Stat attack!! That's the 20-year-old striker's third goal in La Liga this season and his fourth in all competitions.
    • 69' GOAL!!!!! The ball is played into the Sevilla box again... confusion between the defenders who fail to clear... YESTE SHOOTS... DE SANCTIS TIPS IT AWAY... SUSAETA SCORES ON THE RE-BOUND!!!!! 2-0 TO ATHLETIC AND THAT SHOULD BE GAME OVER!!!
    • 67' Yeste and Lopez combine really well on the left. WONDERFUL CROSS FROM YESTE... but again there's no-one on the end of it.
    • 64' Sevilla substitution: Capel is off and replaced by Dudu. Strange choice. Capel had been their best midfielder so far.
    • 63' Munoz is booked for dissent. He handballed, accidentally, and then kicked the ball away in disgust.
    • 62' Susaeta is into the box to the right of goal... WONDERFUL LOW CROSS... but Alves leaves it. The defender knew even the slightest touch could result in an own goal. You have to wonder why Aduriz did not attack that.
    • 60' Athletic substitution: Inaki Munoz replaces Orbaiz.
    • 58' Capel is tearing down the left flank, chips a cross into Renato... but the Brazilian, who has been awful so far, fails to make contact.
    • 57' Sevilla substitution: Juanjo replaces Chevanton. That's a defender for a striker.
    • 55' Orbaiz is down now. Poulsen brought him down and he looks like he will have to go off.
    • 54' So Sevilla will play out the final 35 minutes with ten men... and that bruise already looks to be getting bigger.
    • 53' There's a fair old bruise on Aduriz's face from that.
    • 53' ESCUDE IS OFF!!!! To be fair, he did lead with his elbow and come on on Aduriz's cheek.
    • 52' It's Aduriz on the floor now with his face in his hands. He claims that's revenge from Escude..
    • 51' The boot's on the other foot this time. Escude goes down clutching his face after barely making contact with Aduriz.
    • 50' David Lopez has gone to ground after a collision with Alves. Oh, what a surprise. He's on his feet as soon as the free kick is given.
    • 48' A dire start to this second half. Three minutes in and only now is the ball in to either side's final third.
    • 46' Sevilla substitution: Crespo comes off for Adriano.
    • 45' Half-time, and if things stay as they are now, Athletic Bilbao will climb up from 17th to ninth incredibly.
    • 44' Orbaiz gets down the right channel. GREAT CROSS but it's headed away by Federico Fazio. That's why Bilbao haven't scored many goals this season. No-one was attacking it.
    • 43' Aranzubia immediatley makes a good catch from a corner. A nice way to get into the swing of things.
    • 42' Athletic substitution: Daniel Aranzubia replaces Iraizoz
    • 40' Gorka Iraizoz is struggling. It looks like he over-stretched saving a shot from Capel. Substitute Daniel Aranzubia is getting ready to come on.
    • 38' Sevilla are just starting to get back into the game in wide areas, as Poulsen and Maresca are proving highly ineffective in the middle of the park.
    • 36' Chevanton is booked for the blatant handball. He even put his hands behind his back as the ball trickled over the line. The cheek.
    • 35' Sevilla go forward with Chevanton... Iraola slices a clearance... CHEVANTON IS IN HERE... HE PUNCHES THE BALL OVER IRAIZOZ'S HEAD AND INTO THE BACK OF THE NET. That will never be allowed.
    • 33' Susaeta picks up a pass and sprints into the box... his low cross is poor though. Athletic well and truly on top in this game.
    • 32' Yeste with a corner... it's flicked on, but cleared by the Sevilla defence... IRAOLA TRIES A HEADER FROM 25 YARDS... AND IT TROUBLES DE SANCTIS, WHO HAS TO TRY TWICE TO CATCH IT!!!
    • 30' He just ran onto Lopez's pass. Julien Escude was far too deep and gave him too much space. Yeste's second goal of the season and Athletic deserve the lead.
    • 29' David Lopez has the ball... threads it through to Yeste... GOAL!!!!!!!!! FRANCISCO YESTE SMASHES THE BALL FIRST TIME BEYOND DE SANCTIS TO GIVE ATHLETIC THE LEAD!!!!!!
    • 27' A total waste from Alves, a man who was being chased by both Chelsea and Real Madrid in the dummer.
    • 26' Dani Alves has the ball and has run 50 yards with it... Chevanton is unmarked to his left.... OH NO!!! He plays the ball right to Diego Capel and he's over-run it. What a wasted opportunity as the Spaniard's cross comes to nothing.
    • 24' Athletic have a free-kick down by their left corner flag. Yeste whips it in, but it's cleared and Sevilla can break now....
    • 22' Interestingly, the pitch has been widened tonight here at San Mames. It was narrowed during midweek to try and reduce the effectiveness of opponents Espanyol, but tonight things are back to normal.
    • 20' An adventurous effort from Athletic striker Yeste. He tried to chip de Sanctis while the Italian was on his line. That was never going to come off.
    • 19' Navas has a very ambitious effort from 30 yards out. What was the point? Dani Alves' cross had been half-cleared by Aitor Ocio.
    • 16' Jesus Navas cuts inside and SHOOTS... Blocked by Amorebieta!
    • 10' Crespo is too casual in defence and loses the ball to Aduriz, who gets into the box and SHOOTS... De Sanctis has to block at the near post, and has taken a knock in the process. Almost a gift for the Basque side form Crespo!
    • 6' Iraizoz comes sprinting out of his area to head away a long ball, but it's still in play and Maresca shoots! The shot is rushed and from around 50 yards away, and curls wide. A lucky escape for Bilbao!
    • 2' Bilbao need all three points tonight if they are to make sure they will not begin next week in the relegation zone.
    • 1' In the absence of Kanoute (at the African Nations), Kerzakhov (injured) and Luis Fabiano (suspended), Ernesto Chevanton plays in an unfamiliar role spearheading the Sevilla attack.
