GOAAAAL!
Athletic Bilbao take the lead! What a strike from Jauregizar. It came from Maguire's loose ball on the edge of his own penalty box.
One shot is blocked before the ball falls to Jauregizar, who is 25 or so yards out and sends it into the top-right corner! Onana gets something on it but not enough...
Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 1 (1-3 agg)

Casemiro launches the ball forward to Dorgu on the left wing, but his cross is not up to scratch. He's been good so far, though. Easily headed away, the cross.

Garnacho fouled, cynically, with a knee in the back from Yuri as he passed the ball back to his own defence. Should have been a booking. Wasn't.

Hojlund gets penalised for hand-ball going forward when is hoping to get through on goal. He was a long way from it but he was pulled back a bit, I think? No, maybe not. Hand ball was a little unfortunate. Mazraoui is booked, though, for an earlier challenge where he used his arm on an opponent.
Athletic Bilbao with 58 per cent of the possession.

Dorgu drives forward again, into the penalty box! He ends up on the floor and thinks he has been fouled by a blue shirt. Probably not a penalty but is it really any worse or better than the instance in the first leg where United were awarded a penalty? Not really. A similarly sort of arms-around-the-attacker situation.
The VARs are having a look but check is over and no penalty given.

Dorgu drives forwards on the left... and then loses it to bring about another Athletic Club attack. Berenguer has a crack from 22 yards out. Tries to place it in the bottom corner with the inside of his foot but sends it low and wide.

Not a great deal of control for either side at the moment. United look a little shaky at the back, a cross is cut out eventually but it nearly presented another great opportunity for the visitors, who are being given space or at least are finding it.
8:19PM
More nostalgia at Old Trafford...
Not sure how it comes across on TV but in the stadium it looks like United only have to beat the Chelsea team of 2015-2016 for a place in the Europa League final. Strong mid-2010s kit vibes.

United's first chance! Fernandes puts Garnacho through on goal and he takes a good first touch but just dithers slightly in trying to beat Agirrezabala, who slides in and claims the ball with his hands.
Space is opening up and the chances are starting to come for United, though, as their opponents commit at the other end.
8:16PM
12 mins - Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 0
Athletic Bilbao do not really take advantage of the free-kick and United counter with Garnacho looking to run onto a loose ball over the top... Agirrezabala charges out of his box and clears, though.

Boca fans turn Miami Beach into Boca Beach ahead of Club World Cup start
MIAMI BEACH, Florida, June 15 - More than a thousand Boca Juniors fans turned a slice of Miami's coastline into 'Boca Beach' on Sunday, draping the shores of Bark Beach in blue and yellow on the eve of their team's Club World Cup debut. With drums pounding and chants echoing over the white sand, supporters grilled meat, waved flags and drank 'fernet con coca' — the bitter Argentine aperitif mixed with cola — as bemused Floridians looked on during their usual Sunday dip. Beer flowed for hours under the Florida sun, with police observing calmly from a distance. Several dozen fans made their way from downtown Miami to join the seaside celebration, bringing more banners and unmistakable Argentine energy. The colourful display injected a much-needed dose of passion into the newly expanded Club World Cup, giving the tournament a proper World Cup atmosphere amid concerns that fans might turn their backs on the revamped format. Some 61,000 fans, however, filled the Hard Rock stadium for the opening game on Saturday as Lionel Messi's Inter Miami played African giants Al-Ahly. More than 80,000 attended Champions League winners Paris St Germain's 4-0 drubbing of Atletico Madrid at the Rose Bowl on Sunday. 'Wherever you go, Boca is here,' Gaston San Paul, a Boca fan who flew in from Entre Rios, Argentina, told Reuters. 'Wherever we are we do this,' he added, referring to the 'Banderazo', a fan gathering destined to mark territory ahead of a game. Boca Juniors will face Portuguese side Benfica on Monday at the Hard Rock Stadium in their opening match of the 32-team competition, which is being staged in the United States for the first time.

Carlota Ciganda finished one stroke clear of Choi Hye-jin to claim her first LPGA Tour victory in almost nine years at the Meijer LPGA Classic in Spaniard birdied the final two holes at the Blythefield Country Club to card a five-under-par 67 to end at 16 under overall, with a bogey at the 17th proving costly for her playing partner from South Korea. Ciganda, 35, whose two previous wins on the LPGA Tour came within a month of each other in October and November 2016, said: "It feels amazing, obviously, after all these years."I knew I could do it, but obviously once the years keep going and you start getting older you start doubting yourself."Part of a six-way tie for the lead at the start of the fourth round, Ciganda also held off Somi Lee, who finished third at 14 Lexi Thompson finished on 13 under alongside Celine Boutier and Nanna Koerstz Madsen after dropping shots on the 16th and 17th holes, while England's Bronte Law was in a tie for seventh on 12 under."I love coming here," added Ciganda, who has also won eight times on the Ladies European Tour."It reminds me of where I'm from in the northern part of Spain.
