    Thanks for following the game with us! (20:53:09)
     
    Espanyol today had 5 chances and they used 4 of them! That is efficency! On the other side Bilbao failed multiple times to get in front during the first half where they could have scored 2 or more goals. After a double with about an hour played, the guests from Barcelona made everything clear. In the end Verdú failed with an penalty shot attempt but scored with the rebound to make it a clear 4-0 away win that is very surprising! Now both teams switched positions in the table.
     
    Game over.
