Welcome to our LIVE coverage from San Mames as Athletic Bilbao take on Getafe.

Getafe are trying to stay patient, keeping the ball well - but making little headway.

Cagey stuff in this second half so far, with Getafe coach Michel looking despondent on the sidelines.

The rain has lightened, but the pitch is still as slippery as a greased banana skin.

First chance of the half comes for Athletic as Susaeta crosses from the right - Toquero leaps for a free header but puts the ball over the bar.

The second half kicks off, with Getafe having taken off Victor Sanchez and brought on Francisco Casquero Paredes.

The whistle goes to end the half. Athletic are absolutely cruising here at the moment, Getafe have scarcely had a look in - though Colunga's great missed opportunity to pull one back suggests that the visitors may yet get back into this.

Another free kick won by Munain and Derek Boateng now goes in the book.

Getafe are just trying to hang on to the ball now, desperate to play down the clock and get some fresh instructions from coach Michel.

Susaeta hits the free kick from almost on the byline - it's a stunner and almost curls staight in, but is brilliantly pushed on to the bar by Codina.

Pintos goes in the book for that challenge on the 17-year-old.

Another penalty? No, the superb Munain was indeed taken down but it's just outside the box!

Javi Martinez has a crack from just outside the box which bullseyes Derek Boateng in the head. The big Ghanain looks like he's been punched by a Klitschko, but manages to stay on his feet.

Daniel Diaz concedes a soft corner, it's another chance for Athletic.

Iraola makes a good run up the right - lovely cross finds Llorente who heads the ball well, but just over the bar.

Free kick to Athletic that sees Sanchez go in the book. The ball comes in, Llorente is just beaten to the cross after a shove in the back, it falls for Gurpegui who has a pop but can't quite get the curl he needs on his shot to get it on target.

That's an outstanding chance wasted - Getafe should have pulled one back there.

Adrian Colunga runs onto a brilliant through ball and looks certain to score - but as he tries to round the keeper, Iraizoz just gets a hand to the ball!

Odd - the referee doesn't see the deflection and orders a goal kick instead.

Toquero makes another run up the left and wins another corner.

Codina punches clear from a Susaeta cross - dangerous tactics on slippery, wet nights like this...

Lovely move from Athletic with one-touch passing putting Toquero in the box. He hits the target, but the shot is blocked by the legs of defender Rafa - it's a corner.
