Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Estadio de la Ceramica. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 4' Santi Cazorla is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the midfielder.
  • 7' The deadlock is broken! Karim Benzema gets on the scoresheet on 7 minutes.
  • 12' It looks like no one’s ball. Villarreal CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 17' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' What a strike from Raphael Varane! The score is 1-2.
  • 25' A quiet spell here at Estadio de la Ceramica. Real Madrid CF seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 30' Real Madrid CF come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 40' 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 Dani Carvajal suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Casemiro.
  • 45' Alvaro Gonzalez was booked on 45.
  • 46' Isco is replacing Gareth Bale for the Real Madrid CF side.

  • 56' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 61' Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 63' The Villarreal CF manager makes a substitution. Santiago Caseres departs to be replaced by Karl Toko Ekambi.
  • 64' Luka Modric makes way for Federico Valverde at the 64 minute mark. A tactical switch from Real Madrid CF.
  • 68' A change in the Villarreal CF ranks — Gerard Moreno exits the field as Carlos Bacca enters on 68.
  • 73' The 34-year-old Gerard Moreno has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 78' The travelling Real Madrid CF supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 82' Santi Cazorla has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 82 minutes.
  • 82' Trigueros gets the nod from Villarreal CF. He replaces Javi Fuego and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 86' A change in the Real Madrid CF ranks — Toni Kroos exits the field as Vinicius Junior enters on 86.
  • 89' Poor challenge from Sergio Ramos. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 90' A moment of madness from Jaume Costa on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Villarreal CF will be frustrated.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
