Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Girona FC launch into their encounter with Villarreal CF.
  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 9' What a strike from Yeremi Pino! The score is 0-1.
  • 14' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 19' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Quique Setien will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 23' The referee shows Villarreal CF player a Yellow card on 23.
  • 24' GOAL! David Lopez scores on 24. Assisted by Arnau Martinez
  • 29' Both keepers have barely been tested. Girona FC and Villarreal CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
  • 39' It looks surprising Girona FC does not make any changes. Aissa Mandi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' RamonTerrats Espacio, a Spain midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 49' Villarreal CF is showing some good football. However, Villarreal CF are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 54' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 55' David Lopez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 55.

  • 60' The whistle greets David Lopez as he departs to be replaced by Yangel Herrera.
  • 62' It is a substitution in Villarreal CF team. Alfonso Pedraza is replaced by Alberto Moreno on 62 minute.
  • 63' The Villarreal CF bench stirs into life. Samuel Chukwueze is withdrawn and Gerard Moreno gets his opportunity.
  • 68' Fresh legs for Villarreal CF! Femenia Far comes on to replace Juan Foyth.
  • 71' A moment of madness from Yangel Herrera on 71 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Girona FC will be frustrated.
  • 72' Fresh legs for Girona FC! Reinier comes on to replace Yan Couto.
  • 77' Giovani Lo Celso has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 78' A tactical swap from Girona FC — Javi on, Miguel Gutierrez off on 78 minutes.
  • 80' Yeremi Pino makes way for Trigueros at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Villarreal CF.
  • 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Etienne Capoue made 373 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' Villarreal CF fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Villarreal CF players.
