ATHLETIC BILBAO V REAL MADRID - LATEST SPANISH SUPER CUP SCORE

Benzema clears, but the whistle goes for a foul on Militao.

Munain felled by Modric and there's a chance for Bilbao to swing the ball into the area.

Better from Bilbao as they get into certain promising areas, but in the final third they just don't have the confidence, craft nor ingenuity to really create a golden opportunity. Elsewhere, Rodrygo twists and turns down the right and swings a cross in, but there was no one in the box to aim for and Madrid rebuild a new attacking phase.

Another Casemiro effort from the corner this time is turned over the bar by Simon.

Modric's cross is well nodded out by Yeray, and the next wave of Madrid pressure culminates in a Casemiro shot that is well saved by Simon.

Munain tries a La Croqueta on the edge of the area to work some space, but Madrid clear their lines and Bilbao come again.

Hacked away by Sancet, but Real come again... and Vinicius' cross is headed away by Inigo Martinez.

Won by Rodrygo on the right after his cross was blocked. Kroos over the corner.

Bilbao are letting Real onto them a bit more now; the press has died down somewhat. They're pressuring at times, but it's more individualistic than team-orientated.

Benzema is afforded space and time to turn. and he tries to bend the ball into the far corner, and Simon gets a fingertip to it! From the following corner, Militao beats the 'keeper to the ball and nods just over.

Modric menacingly cuts inside off the right onto his left and strikes, but the effort is deflected into Simon's arms.

Inigo Martinez wins the header, but it loops way wide.

Sancet's effort from range is deflected behind, and Munain stands over the dead ball,

Good lay-offs from Williams and Sancet, but Garcia's ball looking for Williams down the left is overhit and Courtois gathers.

Madrid carving Bilbao open with neat passing between their front five. and Vazquez's angled ball is in towards Kroos, whose shot is blocked well.

A nice injection of pace down the right on the counter from Williams, but Alaba executes an expert sliding challenge to concede the throw.

A high line from Real's back four: they're able to do so with the pace of Militao and Alaba, and Mendy and Vazquez are getting forwards safely in the knowledge that Casemiro and Kroos complete the defensive box to counteract the space left behind.

Real are getting into it now; they're popping the ball around well; Kroos and Modric are on the ball in the middle looking to orchestrate as the three forwards seek to link play with the midfield unit.

Madrid venture forwards for the first time, with Vazquez disguising a pass to Casemiro and the Brazilian finds Rodrygo, whose shot is charged down by Yeray as Bilbao play out.

They're looking to counterpress early here, Bilbao, Sancet is up with Williams as they look to put the pressure on Los Blancos.

A long ball towards Williams early and a filthy backflick nutmeg on Alaba to get the game going.
