GOAL Atletico Bilbao 1-0 Sporting Lisbon (agg 2-2) – Markel Susaeta (17 mins)
It’s been coming, it really has. From Iker Muniain’s right-wing cross, Llorente chests the ball into the path of Markel Susaeta, whose volley bounces over the outstretched left hand of the diving Rui Patricio. Bilbao in front on away goals.
GOAL Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Sporting Lisbon (agg 2-3) – Ricky van Wolfswinkel (44 mins)
Game on. Against the run of play, Sporting win a corner. After some pinball in the Bilbao box, the ball falls to Ricky van Wolfswinkel, already suspended for the final, who drills a daisy cutter into the back of the net. Sporting ahead on aggregate.
GOAL Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Sporting Lisbon (agg 3-3) – Ibai Gomez (45 mins)
Hmm, Sporting might have scored on the stroke of half time but there is evidently still time for Bilbao to strike straight back. This goal owes much to a superb piece of control followed by a deft lay-off from Fernando Llorente. The striker playes the ball into the path of Ibai Gomez, who drills the ball home with a low strike across goal.
RED CARD – Atletico’s Tiago
…in the resulting melee, lots of pushing and shoving, with Roberto Soldado going down after getting a slap from Tiago. The referee has spotted it, the Atletico skipper is getting his marching orders and will miss the final.
