Events
Match Events

- 9' Axel Witsel puts Club Atletico de Madrid on the lead.
- 14' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Villarreal CF and Club Atletico de Madrid are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 19' Samuel Lino has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 8 goals this season.
- 24' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 26' Antoine Griezmann has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 26.
- 27' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Etienne Capoue.
- 32' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 37' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Club Atletico de Madrid winning 0% of all matches.
- 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Club Atletico de Madrid that had 538 games and scored 637 goals.
- 46' The crowd applauds Rodrigo Riquelme as he leaves the pitch. Stefan Savic steps in for Club Atletico de Madrid.
- 50' The Norway Alexander Sorloth breaks the deadlock on 50 minutes. 1-1!

- 70' Jose Morales has so much to prove this time. He replaces Goncalo Guedes on 70 minute.
- 75' 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 Jan Oblak suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' Dani Parejo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Club Atletico de Madrid so far.
