Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Deportivo Alaves kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Deportivo Alaves seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 10' 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 John Guidetti suffering a number of foals already.
- 13' A stunning finish from Paco Alcacer — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 18' The travelling Deportivo Alaves supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 23' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 28' Spain international Pere Pons has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 33' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Deportivo Alaves needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 36' The deadlock is broken! Edgar Mendez gets on the scoresheet on 36 minutes.
- 41' Over 41 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 45' Gerard Moreno has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 45 minutes.
- 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
- 55' It looks like no one’s ball. Villarreal CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 60' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Villarreal CF side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Deportivo Alaves that had 267 games and scored 237 goals.
- 66' John Guidetti gets the nod from Deportivo Alaves. He replaces Deyverson and will look to change the dynamic.
- 67' A goal from the Spain international Paco Alcacer! He fires home on 67 to make it 3-1!
- 72' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 74' Poor challenge from Laguardia. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 75' The Villarreal CF manager makes a substitution. Trigueros departs to be replaced by Takefusa Kubo.
- 76' Another substitution for Deportivo Alaves to replace Ruben Duarte by Manu on 76 minute.
- 77' Villarreal CF ring the changes. Pervis Estupinan has done his job and it is now time for Jaume Costa to step up.
- 82' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ximo Navarro on 82.
- 83' A tactical swap from Villarreal CF — Samuel Chukwueze on, Moi Gomez off on 83 minutes.
- 84' Ramiro Funes Mori is replacing Paco Alcacer for the Villarreal CF side.
- 89' Lucas has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 9 cards already picked up this season.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-1.
