Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the crucial Spanish league clash between Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid. We'll bring you all the action and goals as they go in at the San Mames. Kick-off: 19:00.

What a save! Koke threads a wonderful ball for Costa to run onto. But from a one-on-one situation Iraizoz gets down well to make the save after spreading himself as much as possible. Great chance.

And there's what I was talking about. Atletico Madrid win the ball in the centre of midfield, but Sosa doesn't look up when playing his pass and guides the ball into the opposite channel to where Costa is.

Costa tries to bundle his way through the Athletic backline but Rico gets a foot in and clears the danger. Fair tackle.

Atletico Madrid have yet to find their rythym here. Suarez and Sosa aren't doing much to keep hold of the ball in midfield. Koke needs to get a grip of the game or it could run away from his team.

This will be a best test for Laporte. He's just 19 years old and is highly thought of at Athletic Bilbao and throughout Spain. But it's not every week that you come up against a striker like Diego Costa.

What start by the home side! They have started brightly but Godin and Miranda were slow to react to the threat, but Munian certainly wasn't. He was onto it in a flash!

GOAL! Athletic Bilbao 1 (6 mins - Iker Munian) Atletico Madrid 0. Munian nets the opener! The Atletico defence goes to sleep, failing to deal with a long ball forward. Munian's pace gets him there first and flicks the ball over Courtois and just under the bar.

Athletic have started well, which isn't too surprising considering how good they are at the San Mames. However, Atletico broke their unbeaten run in the new stadium when they came here in the cup. Can they do it again?

Athletic are without midfielder Ander Herrera, who is suspended. In comes Mikel Rico and Ituuraspe, who aren't bad in their own right!

Of course, this is also a big game for Athletic Bilbao, who are looking to qualify for next season's Champions League. Sevilla's defeat against Celta Vigo has boosted their chances so they will be pumped up for this.

So can Atletico Madrid re-claim top spot in La Liga following Barcelona's win over Espanyol a couple hours ago? They've passed so many tests this season. Can they pass this one against Athletic Bilbao?

We're under way at the San Mames!
