Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Estadio de la Ceramica will turn into a battlefield for Villarreal CF and Olympique de Marseille.
- 5' Ismaila Sarr is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Olympique de Marseille tonight.
- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Villarreal CF and Olympique de Marseille are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 18' That is a card for Olympique de Marseille. Ismaila Sarr will be fuming at that decision.
- 23' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 28' Chancel Mbemba has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 32' Etienne Capoue makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Villarreal CF are in front.
- 37' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Villarreal CF and Olympique de Marseille are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 42' Kiko Femenia has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 46' A change in the Olympique de Marseille ranks — Ismaila Sarr exits the field as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang enters on 46.
- 48' Olympique de Marseille player sees a card in front of him.
- 51' Villarreal CF make a change. Eric Bailly trudges off to be replaced by Yerson Mosquera on 51 minutes.
- 54' Goal! Alexander Sorloth scores his 86 goal in 328 matches.
- 59' Azzedine Ounahi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 64' 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 Aissa Mandi suffering a number of foals already.
- 67' Another change for Villarreal CF made on 67 minute. Francis Coquelin leaves to be changed by Alex Baena.
- 69' It’s a booking for Olympique de Marseille player. Quentin Merlin gets a card.
- 74' It looks like no one’s ball. Olympique de Marseille is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 78' The whistle greets Azzedine Ounahi as he departs to be replaced by Luis Henrique.
- 83' Ivory Coast international Eric Bailly has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 84' Controversy at the stadium! Geoffrey Kondogbia argues furiously but the card stands.
- 84' Kiko Femenia makes way for Jose Morales at the 84 minute mark. A tactical switch from Villarreal CF.
- 85' What a moment for Yerson Mosquera! That strike on 85 puts his side firmly in control.
- 90' Alex Baena picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
