Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Abanca Balaidos. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Nolito is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RC Celta de Vigo tonight.
- 10' RC Celta de Vigo 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' Alberto Moreno has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 17' The referee calls foul for Santi Mina. He receives a Yellow card.
- 22' 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 Jeison Murillo suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' Alberto Moreno is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the defender.
- 32' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 42' Villarreal CF is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 45' It’s a booking for Villarreal CF player. Juan Foyth gets a Yellow card.
- 46' Thiago Galhardo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Santi Mina on 46 minute.
- 51' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 56' Kevin Vazquez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Villarreal CF that had 423 games and scored 579 goals.
- 62' The RC Celta de Vigo bench stirs into life. Nolito is withdrawn and Franco Cervi gets his opportunity.
- 63' RC Celta de Vigo ring the changes. Nolito has done his job and it is now time for Franco Cervi to step up.
- 68' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both RC Celta de Vigo and Villarreal CF are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 69' Ruben Pena makes way for Moi Gomez at the 69 minute mark. A tactical switch from Villarreal CF.
- 72' What a moment for Brais Mendez! That strike on 72 puts his side firmly in control.
- 77' A quiet spell here at Abanca Balaidos. RC Celta de Vigo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 79' A tactical swap from RC Celta de Vigo — Jose Fontan on, Joseph Aidoo off on 79 minutes.
- 82' It is a substitution in Villarreal CF team. Boulaye Dia is replaced by Francis Coquelin on 82 minute.
- 83' It is a substitution in Villarreal CF team. Alberto Moreno is replaced by Samuel Chukwueze on 83 minute.
- 85' It is a substitution in RC Celta de Vigo team. Fran Beltran is replaced by Okay Yokuslu on 85 minute.
- 90' With 0 assists to his name this season, Yeremi Pino is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Villarreal CF.
- The final score is 1-1.
