Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Estadio de la Ceramica. Villarreal CF are looking to make home advantage count against Atalanta BC.
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 6' Remo Freuler adds to his 1 season tally! Atalanta BC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 11' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gian Piero Gasperini will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 16' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 21' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gian Piero Gasperini might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 24' The referee shows Atalanta BC player a Yellow card on 24.
  • 25' Marten de Roon catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 25.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 39' What an equalizer from Trigueros!
  • 44' Atalanta BC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 49' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 54' 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 Duvan Zapata suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Controversy at the stadium! Etienne Capoue argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 60' A change in the Villarreal CF ranks — Trigueros exits the field as Moi Gomez enters on 60.
  • 61' It is a substitution in Villarreal CF team. Trigueros is replaced by Moi Gomez on 61 minute.
  • 65' The referee calls foul for Gerard Moreno. He receives a Yellow card.

  • 71' Another substitution for Atalanta BC to replace Ruslan Malinovskyi by Mario Pasalic on 71 minute.
  • 72' Yeremi Pino has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 72.
  • 72' Villarreal CF make a change. Yeremi Pino trudges off to be replaced by Alberto Moreno on 72 minutes.
  • 73' A stunning finish from Arnaut Danjuma — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 76' The referee calls foul for Francis Coquelin. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 79' Matteo Pessina makes way for Aleksei Miranchuk at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Atalanta BC.
  • 83' Robin Gosens does the damage! The net is bulging and Atalanta BC surge ahead!
  • 84' The referee does not hesitate — a Red card for Francis Coquelin on 84 minutes.
  • 88' Mario Gaspar gets the nod from Villarreal CF. He replaces Alfonso Pedraza and will look to change the dynamic.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-2.
