Muniain is down on the turf and the Athletic Bilbao players believe that Real Madrid should have played the ball out. The away side were under no obligation to play it out.

Tempers are starting to fray here. Carvajal punches the ball out of Garcia's hands. Garcia knew what he was doing there. He wanted a reaction from the Real Madrid players.
49'
WILLIAMS... OVER! Muniain nicks the ball off a Real Madrid player in the centre of the field, with Benat finding Williams. But the Athletic Bilbao man fires over the bar from distance!
48'
Can Athletic Bilbao keep up their levels of the first half? The pace and tempo of their play was astonishing over the opening 45 minutes, but will they eventually run out of steam?

What a race that was! Williams and Varane both have pace to burn. Varane gets to the ball first, but he can only play it straight out of play. Keep an eye on that contest for the rest of the match.

41'
Is it possible that Athletic Bilbao could find a second goal before the half time break? They are well on top at the moment. Real Madrid have yet to find a way into this game.
40'
BIG SAVE FROM SIMON! Modric shifts the ball on to his left foot and takes the shot. It picks up a deflection, but Simon gets down to make the diving save to his right. Fantastic stop!

This is fantastic from Athletic Club. This is Berizzo football at its best. But can they really play at this level for the full 90 minutes? Will Real Madrid's quality shine through in the end?
37'
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! Athletic Bilbao think they have scored a second goall, with Garcia turning home from a Benat freekick. But the flag was up for offside!
