Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Villarreal CF kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 10' FC Barcelona is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' Villarreal CF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' Dani Parejo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Barcelona needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Barcelona and Villarreal CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 41' Magnificent from Alfonso Pedraza! That is 12 goals in 407 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 45' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Pablo Gavira.
  • 50' Ferran Torres is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Barcelona tonight.
  • 55' Moi Gomez makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Villarreal CF are in front.
  • 57' Ansu Fati is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the 57 minute mark.
  • 59' FC Barcelona receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 59.
  • 64' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 65' The referee calls foul for Jordi Alba. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 68' Villarreal CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nicolas Jackson is hanging Mario Gaspar on the field on 68 minute.
  • 71' FC Barcelona make a change. Ferran Torres trudges off to be replaced by Memphis Depay on 71 minutes.
  • 76' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 81' The crowd applauds Dani Alves as he leaves the pitch. Oscar Mingueza steps in for FC Barcelona.
  • 83' Another substitution for Villarreal CF to replace Alfonso Pedraza by Ruben Pena on 83 minute.
  • 88' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Villarreal CF players.
