50'
Martinez drifts past three men, but Sporting are quick to snuff out that attack. Shot is blocked.
49'
Booking for Amorebieta for clattering Castro. Clumsy tackle.
48'
San Jose fouls Sangoy. Has been a lively enough start to the second period.
47'
Llorente is ruled offside at the start of the second period. Was a real feature in the first half. Offsides were one of the key features.
46'
Athletic get us under way for the second half.
45'
There goes the whistle! Has been a decent first period. Let us hope for more of the same in the second half.
44'
Martinez accidentally stands on the hand of Eguren. A minute to be added of the half.
43'
Llorente fouls Rivera as we head for the break. Llorente is then ruled offside.
42'
Gabilondo swings that ball in. Met by the head of Martinez, but the ball goes straight through to Juan Pablo in the home goal.
41'
Llorente's cross is cut out by Botia, but the visitors have a corner.
40'
All very even now. 49 to 51 in terms of possession.
39'
Both sides continue to attack each other. Aurtenetxe delivers a cross, but Juan Pablo is out quickly to save.
38'
Iraola hammers in a shot from Gabilondo's corner, but Sporting have enough men to deal with that. The home side clear.
37'
De las Cuevas wins a corner for the home side, but Sangoy wastes that corner. He floats it straight out of play.
36'
Juan Pablo spills Gabilondo's cross across goal, but there are no takers on the rebound for Athletic. Fortunate for Sporting.
35'
Botia knocks the ball over the bar, but good movement by the home side.
34'
Aurtenetxe is booked for fouling Novo after he knocked the ball through his legs.
33'
Gijon with six shots on goal to three by Bilbao. Has been entertaing stuff.
32'
Castro is fouled by Orbaiz. No bookings so far. Referee trying to let play flow.
31'
A win for either of these sides will see them move near the top of the table before the weekend's other games.
30'
Flag goes up against Martinez. He is playing on the shoulders of the home defence, but continues to set off too early.
