    Time:90'
    • Athletic Bilbao
    • Atlético Madrid
    • 90+4 As ever they over-play it and the ref blows the final whistle, 1-0 and they hover perilously above the drop zone. Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, move into the top half!
    • 90+3 Lopez on the counter for Athletic but cutting inside loses out and Atletico break, Jurado wins a free-kick. Last chance for Atletico! But they take it short! Madness!
    • 90+2 Aguero with a mazy dribble, clipping it into Forlan who nods it on but Amorebieta slides in to put behind for a late corner... Poor by Jurado, cleared.
    • 90+1 Not going well for Atletico as the hosts win a throw deep on the left.
    • 90' Three minutes injury time being played.
    • 88' Free-kick to Athletic around 30 yards out but well over from Llorente.
    • 87' Martinez caught in possession but the ball trickles harmlessly back to the keeper.
    • 86' Ujfalusi puts in an early cross but headed clear by Ustaritz.
    • 83' ATLETICO: Reyes on for Simao.
    • 82' Forlan goes down on halfway but is adjudged to have committed the foul on Ustaritz.
    • 80' Free-kick to the hosts on the right... swung in and Asenjo stays on his line but over Amorebieta at the far post!
    • 78' Simao's corner easy for the keeper. Atletico are banging on the door but can't seem to get in.
    • 77' Great play by Atletico, a step-over from Jurado to Aguero who touches it TO FORLAN WITH THE LOW DRIVE BUT TIPPED BEHIND BY IRAIZOZ FOR A CORNER! Cracking effort.
    • 76' Aguero now on the edge of the D AND HE SENDS IN A WICKED DRIVE THAT THE KEEPER JUST WATCHES CRASH OFF THE BAR! Twice in a minute they hit wood! Poor Atletico, they deserve something from this.
    • 75' The ball drops TO FORLAN 30 YARDS OUT WHO SMASHES AN INCREDIBLE EFFORT OFF THE INSIDE OF THE FAR POST! That would have been some goal! Hacked away by Athletic.
    • 75' Assuncao comes forward, now Ujfalusi on the right, Simao, Jurado, neat play but waiting for a final ball, Assuncao's to Forlan is too high and the hosts clear.
    • 74' Iraizoz acts as a sweeper, coming out as Aguero almost ran through.
    • 73' The ball is sent into Llorente, he tries a header across goal, barely cleared and he gets it back but the shot is blocked and Atletico clear.
    • 72' Susaeta comes off for David Lopez.
    • 71' Susaeta is still down in some pain as both sets of players take a breather.
    • 70' Susaeta is down hurt after going in with Pablo.
    • 68' Good play by Atletic as Javi Martinez gets in the box but Pablo clears. Snap-shot from Perez but well wide.
    • 66' ATHLETIC SUB: Orbaiz off for Inigo Perez.
    • 65' Forlan with a neat touch and drive from the edge of the box but straight down the keeper's throat.
    • 64' Llorente swings over a cross which evades Suaseta and Gabilondo is there with the keeepr stranded but beyond him and he can only arch to head out for a goal kick.
    • 63' Forlan with a super flick wide left to Simao, he cuts inside and Forlan and Aguero are in there but he shoots and straight at the keeper.
    • 62' Good claim by Asenjo from the corner and he launches a counter, Aguero now but he can't find Forlan.
    • 61' Free-kick to the hosts which Orbaiz sends in and it almost creeps past Asenjo after a deflection off Suaseta's head but the young keeper just bats it out! Amorebieta is in there now but a corner is all that results.
    • 60' ATLETICO SUB: Jurado on for Maxi, like-for-like but Jurado more of a natural striker.
    • 59' Raul Garcia tries something, not sure if it's a shot or cross, that goes well wide.
    • 57' Blood streaming from his nose, Orbaiz has to come off but is on again within seconds of a jersey-change.
    • 56' Orbaiz gets an accidental forearm in the face from Forlan...
    • 55' Ujfalusi plays it in from the right but the flag is up, Forlan just off.
    • 54' Athletic counter after Assuncao gives it away but Atletico get it back, Forlan now finds Simao, who tees-up Aguero but he can't get the shot away, is crowded out and the hosts clear.
    • 53' Long from Asenjo. Promising start for Atletico in the second half.
    • 51' Forlan takes it and sends the ball into the wall, it hits Martinez straight on the jaw and knocks him out.
    • 50' Amorebieta gives away a free-kick five yards from the D, Simao is over it...
    • 49' Simao wide to Forlan, excellent cross that just evades Aguero after Amorbieta again clears well, it drops to MAXI but his shot flies into the side-netting!
    • 47' The ball drops to Maxi Rodriguez after Lopez's cross bounces off Forlan and he drills it just wide!
    • 46' Second half underway!!
    • 45+2 Half-time and Athletic Bilbao lead through Javi Martinez's header!
    • 45+1 Simao cuts in from the left and shoots low but the keeper stoops to save it as the ball bounces into his chest.
    • 45' Two minutes added time being played.
    • 44' Ball over the top frees Forlan, he's in on the right AND DRILLS IT BACK TO AGUERO WHO MUST SCORE BUT FROM NOWHERE USTARITZ FLIES IN TO BLOCK!! What a tackle! He played it off Aguero, so a goal kick too.
    • 43' Di Marcos races on to a long on down the right and for some reason Asenjo comes rushing to his near post and could get caught out here but instead of looking far post or for Llorente, Di Marcos shoots straight at him!
    • 42' ATHLETIC SUB: Gabilondo on for Toquero.
    • 41' Toquero is injured, he can't continue...
    • 40' A decent spell for Athletic but the visitors clear, now Aguero goes in late on Javi Martinez, clipping the back of his legs.
    • 39' De Marcos with a good run and cross from the left but Lopez manages to head away with Toquero ready to pounce.
    • 38' The hosts get a free-kick wide left but Asenjo punches clear.
    • 37' Aguero runs at the Athletic defence but Amorebieta shuts him down and wins the goal kick too.
    • 36' As Forlan slips on the edge of the box the replay shows a brilliant piece of keeping from Asenjo, who got a full fist on the ball to send it flying away from Toquero.
    • 35' Toquero is in but Asenjo races off his line and takes man and ball but no penalty! The fans are howling for one but, to me, that looked a good, brave stop.
    • 35' Di Marcos on the left loses control of the ball but gets away with it and is in but Juanito is back to hoof clear.
    • 34' Toquero goes down on the edge of the box while challenging with Lopez but nothing doing.
    • 33' Martinez heads the corner clear, Athletic break and Susaeta is in, he wriggles past the last man and this could be another but Asenjo races out and saves with his feet!!
    • 32' Forlan with an early shot which he is convinced is a corner, coming off the defender's boot and somewhat luckily he gets one. Looked like he sliced it to me...
    • 30' Good delivery from the Portugal winger, which Amorebieta heads over his own bar for another, which Iraizoz punches clear. It drops for Simao though but his ball is repelled, and Garcia fires well wide.
    • 29' Corner to Atletico on the right wing which Simao jogs over to take.
    • 28' Ujfalusi crosses but Obraiz clears. Athletic break but Rodriguez tackles Llorente.
    • 27' Atletico get a free-kick after Javi Martinez slides into Simao around 30 yards out, slightly to the left. Simao drifts it in but poor, headed out.
    • 26' Toquero is unhappy with Simao's tackle, he pushed him in the back and fell on top of him. Hardly worth kicking off about. The free-kick is cleared, Koikili gets away from Ujfalusi and shoots low but straight at the keeper Asenjo.
    • 25' Antonio Lopez is booked for a non-elbow on Llorente. Harsh. Free-kick just inside the Atletico half.
    • 24' Poor from Orbaiz, straight into the wall but Atletico don't clear and Susaeta shoots but well wide.
    • 23' Free-kick to Athletic, who are putting their guests under a lot of pressure. At least 30 yards out...
    • 22' Poor corner from Athletic on the right, out for a goal kick.
    • 21' Susaeta's ball from the right finds Di Marco unmarked at the far post but the centre is cleared. Atletico under real pressure here!
    • 20' Atletico again go to sleep as Llorente slides Koikili in but Asenjo flies out to save at his feet.
    • 19' Orbaiz to take, he sends a good ball far post AND JAVI MARTINEZ FLIES IN UNMARKED AT THE FAR POST TO HEAD INTO THE BOTTOM RIGHT! 1-0! Shocking defending, again, no-one marking him or following the ball.
    • 18' Free-kick to the hosts on the right wing...
    • 17' Ujfalusi gets forward down the Atletico right but Amorebieta comes across to hoof it out.
    • 15' Assuncao booked for going in late on Orbaiz.
    • 14' Poor delivery from Orbaiz, cleared easily by the wall.
    • 13' Free-kick to the hosts around 20 yards out on the left...
    • 12' Forlan races down the left, he swings over an excellent cross and Iraizoz is stranded and Garcia with the header but off the post and in flies Aguero but Iraizoz somehow gets his body in the way and off the line by Amorebieta!
    • 11' The hosts with a rare foray forward as Toquero gets it on the edge of the box but a very tight offside.
    • 9' A low drive comes in from Simao on the edge of the box but straight down Iraizoz's throat.
    • 5' The hosts have barely had a touch of the ball so far, Atletico belying their bottom-four placing.
    • 3' Bright start from Atletico as Simao tries to put a ball in but sends it behind for a goal kick. He thinks there's a shout for a corner there but nothing given.
    • 1' Match underway!!
    • - Welcome to highlights of tonight's final Liga clash, mid-table Athletic Bilbao v struggling Atletic Madrid!
