Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Estadio de la Ceramica. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 2' Santiago Bueno is having his name booked by the referee on 2.
  • 7' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 12' Both keepers have barely been tested. Villarreal CF and Girona FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 17' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michel might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 18' Gerard Moreno has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 18.
  • 23' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' Villarreal CF player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 30' The travelling Girona FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 33' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Miguel Gutierrez on 33 minutes.
  • 37' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Pau Torres.
  • 40' Girona FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 45' Controversy at the stadium! Alejandro Baena argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 50' Villarreal CF are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Girona FC's shape.
  • 55' 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.
  • 60' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 61' Villarreal CF ring the changes. Jorge Cuenca has done his job and it is now time for Mamadou Fall to step up.
  • 64' Another substitution for Girona FC to replace Ivan Martin by Yangel Herrera on 64 minute.
  • 69' 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 Cristhian Stuani suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 75' Aleix Garcia makes way for Borja Garcia at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Girona FC.
  • 79' It’s gonna be a Red card for Santiago Bueno.
  • 81' The supporters are chanting for Trigueros. He replaces Etienne Capoue on 81 minute.
  • 86' Villarreal CF make a change. Samuel Chukwueze trudges off to be replaced by Diego Collado on 86 minutes.
  • 90' Controversy at the stadium! Alberto Moreno argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Girona FC.
