Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan!
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Villarreal CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' 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 Santi Comesana suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gerard Moreno made 407 appearances and scored 99 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' It looks surprising Sevilla FC does not make any changes. Francis Coquelin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 52' Juanlu was booked on 52.
- 54' Adria Altimira catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 54.
- 59' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sevilla FC and Villarreal CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 64' Jorge Cuenca is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Villarreal CF tonight.
- 69' It is a cagey affair so far. Sevilla FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Villarreal CF's compact 4-4-2.
