0' Three points are at stake. UD Almería host Villarreal CF — let the battle begin!
5' Pau Torres has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
10' Albiol has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
14' That is a Yellow card for UD Almeria. Cesar de la Hoz will be fuming at that decision.
19' UD Almería are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
24' Sergio Akieme is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Villarreal CF so far.
29' Villarreal CF is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

39' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
44' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering UD Almería that had 168 games and scored 200 goals.
46' Samuel Almeida Costa is ready to make an impact after coming on for Adri Embarba at the 46 minute mark.
51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Leo Baptistao made 293 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
55' A meaty challenge results in booking for Juan Brandariz on 55.
56' It’s a booking for Villarreal CF player. Juan Foyth gets a Yellow card.
61' Lucas Robertone, a Argentina , has 1 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
66' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
67' A moment of madness from Albiol on 67 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Villarreal CF will be frustrated.
69' Yeremi Pino makes way for Gerard Moreno at the 69 minute mark. A tactical switch from Villarreal CF.
70' A change in the UD Almeria ranks — Luis Suarez exits the field as Largie Ramazani enters on 70.
75' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
76' GOAL! Gerard Moreno scores on 76. Assisted by Samuel Chukwueze
79' Dyego Sousa gets the nod from UD Almeria. He replaces Cesar de la Hoz and will look to change the dynamic.
80' That is a Yellow card for Villarreal CF. Gerard Moreno will be fuming at that decision.
85' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
88' Goal! Jose Luis Morales scores his 57 goal in 284 matches.
89' The supporters are chanting for Johan Mojica. He replaces Samuel Chukwueze on 89 minute.
90' Giovani Lo Celso picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
0-2 the final result. UD Almería will be bitterly disappointed.
