95'The ball goes into the box from Semedo, Simon catches and that's the ball game!!!!! Athletic Bilbao steal it right at the death!

45'HT: Athletic Bilbao 0-0 Barcelona! Half-time at San Mames! Pique is arguing with the referee (not a good idea with the ref in this mood). Barca have been the better side up to now, but both defences look very solid. The home side had a Williams goal disallowed early on while Fati has come the closest for Barca. 0-0 very fair. Back for more in 10 minutes!

43'The ref is starting to lose control of this one... Not done anything majorly wrong, but he's not making it easy for himself.
-
41 'Williams is furious after being penalised for a foul on Lenglet. Williams protested more than Alba, but doesn't see yellow. In fact, it's Setien, the Barca coach, who is booked for arguing. Again, not really much in it, but he'd warned already by the ref so the official's patience wore thin.
Yellow card

-
40 'Alba has talked himself into the book. Have to say it looks rather harsh. He seemed to be trying to pull the others away and his protest looked rather calm.
