Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Real Sociedad de Futbol and Villarreal CF get this one started.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 15' The travelling Villarreal CF supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Real Sociedad de Futbol and Villarreal CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 25' 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 Boulaye Dia suffering a number of foals already.
  • 26' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Pervis Estupinan.
  • 27' Pervis Estupinan is having his name booked by the referee on 27.
  • 32' Magnificent from Alexander Isak! That is 121 goals in 536 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Real Sociedad de Futbol needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 38' Against the run of play, Gerard Moreno has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 43' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Mikel Merino.
  • 44' The referee calls foul for Pau Torres. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 49' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Mikel Oiarzabal.
  • 50' That is a Red card for Real Sociedad de Futbol. Mikel Oiarzabal will be fuming at that decision.
  • 52' Another change for Real Sociedad de Futbol made on 52 minute. Adnan Januzaj leaves to be changed by Portu.
  • 53' It is a substitution in Real Sociedad de Futbol team. David Silva is replaced by Ander Barrenetxea on 53 minute.
  • 58' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 61' Samuel Chukwueze is replacing Yeremi Pino for the Villarreal CF side.
  • 65' Aritz Elustondo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mikel Merino at the 65 minute mark.
  • 68' Gerard Moreno does the damage! The net is bulging and Villarreal CF surge ahead!
  • 73' The 38-year-old Etienne Capoue has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 78' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 81' Dani Parejo catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 81.
  • 82' It is a substitution in Real Sociedad de Futbol team. Aihen Munoz is replaced by Diego Rico on 82 minute.
  • 83' Time for substitution for Villarreal CF. Boulaye Dia is replaced by Moi Gomez.
  • 88' Joseba Zaldua picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 90' A tactical swap from Villarreal CF — Iborra on, Etienne Capoue off on 90 minutes.
  • The final score is 1-3.
