Athletic Club 1-1 Elche result, stats and report

Deportivo Alaves bossed possession, fired 24 shots, and kept the Athletic Club goalkeeper busy with six saves, but could not find a way through in a goalless draw at San Mames.

Espanyol were reduced to ten men inside four minutes through a VAR-reviewed card on Federico Redondo, and Elche made them pay in ruthless fashion, running out 3-1 winners in La Liga on Friday night.

Real Madrid left it late at Elche, with substitute Carlos Espí scoring in stoppage time to seal a 3-2 win that Elche made them work hard for. Connor Maguire has no patience for how close this was.

Athletic Club dominated every meaningful statistic but had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Elche, with Iñaki Williams scoring a late equaliser after Facundo Buonanotte's penalty had given Elche a shock lead.

Valencia have shipped ten goals in their last five La Liga matches and host an Athletic Club side that has beaten Atletico Madrid 3-0 away from home this term. Something has to give on Saturday night.

Elche have shipped 13 goals in their last five La Liga matches and are yet to keep a clean sheet. Celta Vigo arrive low on wins but hard to beat, and this one has awkward draw written all over it.
