Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Estadio Martinez Valero. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Villarreal B is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 9' Goal! Fidel scores his 21 goal in 236 matches.
  • 14' Carlos Clerc has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 37 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 19' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 19 minutes.
  • 24' Supporters expect more eagerness from Carlo Garcia, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Martinez Valero with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 29' It looks surprising Elche CF does not make any changes. Alberto Del Moral has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 38' Elche CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Raul Guti is hanging Cristian Salvador on the field on 38 minute.
  • 43' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 46' The whistle greets Hugo Perez as he departs to be replaced by Rodri Alonso.
  • 51' Elche CF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' 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 Hugo Perez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 58' Another substitution for Elche CF to replace Fidel by Aleix Febas on 58 minute.
  • 63' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Villarreal B that had 42 games and scored 43 goals.
  • 68' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 71' Time for substitution for FC Villarreal B. Alex Fores is replaced by Andres Ferrari.
  • 76' Josan Fernandez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 24 Yellow cards this season.
  • 78' Diego Collado has so much to prove this time. He replaces Carlos Romero on 78 minute.
  • 83' The travelling FC Villarreal B supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 84' A meaty challenge results in booking for Josan Fernandez on 84.
  • 84' Oscar Plano has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nicolas Castro on 84 minute.
  • 89' It’s high time Miguel Alvarez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Carlos Clerc.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Elche CF players.
