- 10' CD Leganes started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Villarreal CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' CD Leganes is showing some good football. However, CD Leganes are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 23' Villarreal CF is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ayoze Perez on 23.
- 28' It looks surprising Villarreal CF does not make any changes. Sergio Gonzalez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 31' Goal! Ayoze Perez scores his 65 goal in 339 matches.
- 35' CD Leganes receives a card for a hard tackle on 35.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Villarreal CF that had 407 games and scored 555 goals.
- 44' Villarreal CF player sees a card in front of him.
- 46' GOAL! Nicolas Pepe scores on 45. Assisted by Alex Baena

- 78' The supporters are chanting for Karl Etta Eyong. He replaces Ayoze Perez on 78 minute.
- 83' 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 Miguel suffering a number of foals already.
- 88' Villarreal CF is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for CD Leganes.
