FULL-TIME: Athletic Bilbao 0-1 Barcelona
Barcelona have the ball in the opposition half, and all they have to do is keep possession and they have won the game. And that's something that they can do.
Athletic Bilbao have now taken to launching the ball forward, in the hope that Aduriz can deal with it and their midfielders can play off the striker. Barcelona are still holding firm though.
There is still time for Athletic Bilbao to take something from this game. The officials have been rather generous with the amount of added time at the end of the second half. Four minutes.
Four minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the second half.
Can Athletic Bilbao create one last opportunity against Barcelona here? The Liga champions aren't comfortable, with their 1-0 lead still somewhat fragile. Can the hosts create a chance?
That would have been outrageous! Messi beats one, beats two, beats three, then fires off a shot at goal, but it was straight at Iraizoz... and the Athletic Bilbao keeper is thankful to make the save.
Barcelona sub: Rafinha OFF, Sandro Ramirez ON.
HALF VOLLEY OVER THE BAR! Aduriz wins the cross in the air, with the ball falling to Gomez about 10 yards out... but the striker, who came on not so long ago, skies it over the target.
So what do Athletic Bilbao have left in the tank? They are struggling to get near the ball at the moment, with Barcelona doing that thing they tend to do... pass it around the midfield a lot.
ATHLETIC SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE SHOT! Great play from the home side sets Aduriz through on goal with some space for a shot, but he hesitates, lays it off to Elustondo... who blasts it over.
Gurpegi perhaps got away with one there. The Athletic Bilbao player appeared to actually throw a punch at Suarez, but didn't make contact with the Barcelona striker. Did the referee see that?
YELLOW CARD: Luis Suarez (Barcelona)
It's all getting a bit tetchy between the two sides. Gurpegi and Suarez end up in something of a tussle. I think it was the Athletic Bilbao man winding up the Barcelona striker.
BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR ADURIZ! Benat slots through Aduriz, who races into the penalty area, but he takes too long to take the shot and between Bartra and Bravo Barcelona recover.
YELLOW CARD: Ibai Gomez (Athletic Bilbao)
The impact of that change from Enrique is that Mascherano has now been brought in to midfield, with Bartra the one slipping deep into the centre of defence alongside Vermaelen.
