Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Estadio Civitas Metropolitano. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' Villarreal CF are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Renato Veiga made 513 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
15' Villarreal CF come into this ranked 7 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
20' Club Atletico de Madrid currently sit 4 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
25' 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 Giuliano Simeone suffering a number of foals already.
30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Club Atletico de Madrid must find a spark to ignite this game.
35' Ayoze Perez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Club Atletico de Madrid tonight.
40' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
46' Club Atletico de Madrid ring the changes. Rodrigo Mendoza has done his job and it is now time for Alex Baena to step up.
50' Villarreal CF receives a card for a hard tackle on 50.
54' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Alex Baena on 54 minutes.
59' Goal! Marc Pubill scores his 4 goal in 284 matches.
61' Villarreal CF ring the changes. Alberto Moleiro has done his job and it is now time for Gerard Moreno to step up.
66' Time for substitution for Club Atletico de Madrid. Kang-in Lee is replaced by Pablo Barrios.
66' Gerard Moreno adds to his 2 season tally! Villarreal CF lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
67' Club Atletico de Madrid ring the changes. Koke has done his job and it is now time for Marcos Llorente to step up.
72' The 22-year-old Ilias Akhomach has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
76' It’s a booking for Club Atletico de Madrid player. Morten Hjulmand gets a card.
78' Georges Mikautadze puts Villarreal CF on the lead.
79' The Villarreal CF manager makes a substitution. Georges Mikautadze departs to be replaced by Carlos Macia.
84' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
85' Time for substitution for Villarreal CF. Santi Comesana is replaced by Tani Oluwaseyi.
85' Brilliant from the ! Giuliano Simeone makes it 2-2 with a superb finish on 85.
90' Jose Gimenez was booked on 90.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
