Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Deportivo Alaves kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The 40-year-old Albiol has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Villarreal CF side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 13' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Karl Toko Ekambi makes it 1-0.
- 18' Iborra needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 34 Yellow cards this season.
- 23' Controversy at the stadium! Joselu argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pau Torres made 407 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 33' 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 Gerard Moreno suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' Luis Rioja has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 43' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 48' Supporters expect more eagerness from Aleix Vidal, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de la Ceramica with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 50' Goal! Lucas scores his 29 goal in 341 matches.
- 53' The referee calls foul for Mario Gaspar. He receives a Yellow card.
- 58' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Villarreal CF and Deportivo Alaves are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 61' Samuel Chukwueze is ready to make an impact after coming on for Andre Zambo Anguissa at the 61 minute mark.
- 65' Magnificent from Karl Toko Ekambi! That is 69 goals in 407 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 65' Lisandro Magallan has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 65.
- 67' Deportivo Alaves manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Oliver Burke is hanging Luis Rioja on the field on 67 minute.
- 70' The whistle greets Aleix Vidal as he departs to be replaced by Borja Sainz.
- 75' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 77' Pau Torres was booked on 77.
- 79' Villarreal CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Trigueros is hanging Moi Gomez on the field on 79 minute.
- 84' Gerard Moreno has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 84 minutes.
- 84' The Deportivo Alaves manager makes a substitution. Martin departs to be replaced by John Guidetti.
