Good evening everyone, and welcome to LIVE updates from La Liga where Athletic Bilbao host Real Zaragoza in the one of six games today in Spain's top flight.

Firm long-range hit from Ponzio from the free kick - it's a good effort, but it's narrowly wide of the mark.

Free kick chance from 30 yards for Zaragoza here after Javi Martinez is brought down. Too many fouls in this game spoiling the flow.

Contini smashes the ball away and as Bertolo then tries to get upfield San Jose picks up a booking for the home side.

Javi Martinez cannot quite get his cross in from the left and Zaragoza clear their lines.

Muniain has the ball worked into him from the resulting set piece but cannot make it count. Doblas has a goal kick.

PINTER OFF! He picks up a yellow card for a poor challenge on Llorente. The Hungarian is on his first start for Zaragoza, but his game ends here. It was a ridiculously high foot, and Llorente's face is cut. Only a matter of time before someone saw red tonight.

LLORENTE SO CLOSE! He gets on to the end of a good cross from the right and makes a powerful header which flashes past the far post by a fine margin.

Sinama-Pongolle has a shy from distance - a little ambitious and it sails well wide of Iraizoz' post.

Iraola sends in an appetising cross but that one is no trouble for Doblas to pick out of the air. Zaragoza go forward.

Muniain brought down by a Ponzio tackle from behind.

Corner for Sinama-Pongolle - decent delivery but Bilbao still find a way to get it out of harm's way.

Llorente works his way around Lanzaro to the byline and forces a save from Doblas at his near post.

Zaragoza still tackling without compromise - Braulio clatters into Javi Martinez and is lucky not to see yellow.

The second half begins!

HALF-TIME: A horrible game if you're a Zaragoza fan. Well behind, might easily have been three at the interval, and five players on yellow is a reflection on some horrible, desperate tackling. Bilbao - more of the same, and they'll win comfortably today.

THREE FOR BILBAO! NO! OFFSIDE! Floated intowards Gurpegi who heads the ball into the goal, but he's just a fraction offside!

Pinter booked for a dreadful foul on the running Muniain. That's five Zaragoza men on a yellow.

One minute of stoppages to be played.

Yellow for Sinama-Pongolle for a late tackle, and he cannot stop mouthing off to the referee about it - not a great idea given he's already shown six cards in this game.

Muniain on the break has Llorente on the overlap, but cannot find him - if he had, it would have been another great chance!

Better from Zaragoza as they try to cut through into the box but Gurpegi lends the back four a hand and concedes a corner.
