Events

  • 23' Over 23 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 28' 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.

  • 36' Edgar Mendez makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Deportivo Alaves are in front.
  • 41' Villarreal CF have won 577 goals from 422 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 45' Gerard Moreno doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Borja Sainz made 278 appearances and scored 32 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 55' It looks like no one’s ball. Deportivo Alavés is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 76' Fresh legs for Deportivo Alaves! Manu comes on to replace Ruben Duarte.
  • 77' A change in the Villarreal CF ranks — Pervis Estupinan exits the field as Jaume Costa enters on 77.
  • 82' Ximo Navarro catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 82.
  • 83' Villarreal CF make a change. Moi Gomez trudges off to be replaced by Samuel Chukwueze on 83 minutes.
