Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Valencia CF host Villarreal CF — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Valencia CF that had 425 games and scored 401 goals.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Valencia CF and Villarreal CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' 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 Alberto Mari suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Valencia CF are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Villarreal CF backline.
  • 25' Alejandro Baena has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 410 appearances.
  • 27' The referee shows Valencia CF player a Yellow card on 27.
  • 28' Nico Gonzalez is having his name booked by the referee on 28.

  • 46' Another substitution for Valencia CF to replace Yunus Musah by Diego Lopez Noguerol on 46 minute.
  • 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' Valencia CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ilaix Moriba is hanging Nico Gonzalez on the field on 56 minute.
  • 57' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Dani Parejo.
  • 62' Nicolas Jackson doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 66' Fresh legs for Villarreal CF! Etienne Capoue comes on to replace Yeremi Pino.
