Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Villarreal CF and Granada CF get this one started.
5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
7' What a moment for Alexander Sorloth! That strike on 7 puts his side firmly in control.
12' It looks surprising Villarreal CF does not make any changes. Bruno Mendez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
15' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kamil Piatkowski on 15.
19' Against the run of play, Alexander Sorloth has scored! This game has turned on its head.
24' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
29' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
32' The France Etienne Capoue breaks the deadlock on 32 minutes. 3-0!
37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
42' Granada CF are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
46' Villarreal CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Aissa Mandi is hanging Eric Bailly on the field on 46 minute.
47' What a strike from Goncalo Guedes! The score is 4-0.
52' Ricard Sanchez is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Villarreal CF so far.
57' Supporters expect more eagerness from Oscar Melendo, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de la Ceramica with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
62' Time for substitution for Villarreal CF. Alex Baena is replaced by Trigueros.
63' Theo Corbeanu is ready to make an impact after coming on for Martin Hongla at the 63 minute mark.
66' GOAL! Alexander Sorloth fires home to make it 5-0!
70' It’s a booking for Granada CF player. Ricard Sanchez gets a card.
75' A tactical swap from Villarreal CF — Jose Morales on, Bertrand Traore off on 75 minutes.
80' 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 Kamil Jozwiak suffering a number of foals already.
81' Another change for Granada CF made on 81 minute. Facundo Pellistri leaves to be changed by Kamil Jozwiak.
82' Granada CF make a change. Lucas Boye trudges off to be replaced by Antonio Puertas on 82 minutes.
84' Etienne Capoue picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
89' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
It finishes all square. Villarreal CF and Granada CF share the spoils 5-1.
