Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Villarreal CF kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Villarreal CF seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' 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 Dani Parejo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' It’s high time Giorgios Donis made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 26' Villarreal CF receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 26.
  • 31' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 36' Takefusa Kubo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 41' 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.

  • 63' Yeremi Pino is replacing Trigueros for the Villarreal CF side.
  • 64' The supporters are chanting for Gerard Moreno. He replaces Carlos Bacca on 64 minute.
