  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Pablo Machin might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
