- 25' Alfonso Pedraza is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Villarreal CF tonight.
- 30' Pau Navarro has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 38' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Georges Mikautadze makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 43' Supporters expect more eagerness from Maty Ryan, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de la Ceramica with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 45' A moment of madness from Kervin Arriaga on 45 minutes earns him a card. Levante UD will be frustrated.
