On this evening, a return match for the Spanish Super Cup took place, where the "La Liga" champion "Barcelona" met the Bilbao "Athletic" team, who had lost in the King's Cup final. In their first encounter, the strongest team of the previous season in Spain unexpectedly lost to their opponents with a score of 4:0, but after the match they talked about trying to make a comeback. As it turned out, "Barca" did not just talk but showed from the very first minutes a strong lineup that almost did not allow the opponents to touch the ball. The opening goal for Luis Enrique's team was only scored at the end of the first half, when Lionel Messi, a star of the Catalans, defeated the Bilbao goalkeeper, but scoring three more goals in 45 minutes seemed more than enough. However, breaking through the opponents' defense later was difficult for the Catalans, and in the 57th minute Gerard Pique was sent off for arguing with the assistant referee over not raising the offside flag. After this blow, "Barca" failed to recover and later had to pull the ball out of their own net. "Bilbao" marked themselves on the scoresheet, and secured their first trophy in over 31 years with a hat-trick by Aritz Aduriz in the first match, humiliating their opponents. As the match came to an end, there were only ten "Athletic" players left, but it did not change the outcome of the match. Result: "Barcelona" 1 - 1 (1 - 5) "Athletic" [1-0] 43' Lionel Messi 57' Gerard Pique ("Barcelona") sent off [1-1] 74' Aritz Aduriz 86' Kike Sola ("Athletic") sent off
