Events
Match Events

- 5' Club Atletico de Madrid are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Club Atletico de Madrid and Villarreal CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 25' Villarreal CF are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Villarreal CF winning 0% of all matches.
- 35' Nicolas Jackson is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Villarreal CF tonight.
- 40' Albiol has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 522 appearances.
- 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 48' That is a Yellow card for Club Atletico de Madrid. Joao Felix will be fuming at that decision.
- 53' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 58' Reinildo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 62' A tactical swap from Club Atletico de Madrid — Rodrigo de Paul on, Thomas Lemar off on 62 minutes.
- 67' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 69' Fresh legs for Villarreal CF! Francis Coquelin comes on to replace Etienne Capoue.

- 84' Another change for Villarreal CF made on 84 minute. Nicolas Jackson leaves to be changed by Jose Luis Morales.
- 89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jan Oblak suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' A moment of madness from Jose Maria Gimenez on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Club Atletico de Madrid will be frustrated.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
