Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Estadio de Vallecas will turn into a battlefield for Rayo Vallecano de Madrid and Villarreal CF.

- 14' Adri Embarba is ready to make an impact after coming on for Isi Palazon at the 14 minute mark.
- 19' 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 Ayoze Perez suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sergi Cardona made 118 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 29' Villarreal CF are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 34' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Villarreal CF that had 407 games and scored 555 goals.

- 42' That looks like a foul for a card for Jorge de Frutos.
- 44' The referee calls foul for Thierno Barry. He receives a card.
- 49' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 54' 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.
- 55' That is a card for Villarreal CF. Yeremy will be fuming at that decision.
- 60' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 62' Dani Parejo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pape Gueye at the 62 minute mark.
- 66' Ayoze Perez puts Villarreal CF on the lead.
- 71' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 73' Gerard Gumbau is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pathe Ciss at the 73 minute mark.
- 78' That looks like a foul for a card for Andrei Ratiu.
- 80' A tactical swap from Villarreal CF — Tajon Buchanan on, Thierno Barry off on 80 minutes.
- 85' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 85 minutes.
- 87' The Rayo Vallecano de Madrid bench stirs into life. Pedro Diaz is withdrawn and Oscar Trejo gets his opportunity.
- 90' The referee has no hesitation. Diego Conde is booked for Villarreal CF — card on 90.
- 90' It is a substitution in Villarreal CF team. Alex Baena is replaced by Alfonso Pedraza on 90 minute.
