Shakhtar Donetsk and Atheltic Bilbao have entered the half-time break of their Champions League tie with the score still level at 0-0.
Alex Teixeira should have put Shakhtar ahead after seven minutes, but the Brazilian striker fired straight at Gorka Iraizoz when one on one.
Mikel San Jose then threatened for the visitors, but the 25-year-old blazed his header over the bar from Benat's corner.
Mikel Rico fired a shot towards goal before San Jose went close once more with a glancing header as Bilbao seemed to be gaining a grip on proceedings.
However, Teixeira and Douglas Costa both went close for the hosts as half time approached, but neither side were able to break the deadlock.
