Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Villarreal CF and Real Sociedad de Fútbol is underway.
- 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' Goal! Yeremy scores his 4 goal in 422 matches.
- 12' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

- 29' It is a cagey affair so far. Villarreal CF in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Real Sociedad de Fútbol's compact 4-1-4-1.
- 34' 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 Jon Aramburu suffering a number of foals already.

- 64' The whistle greets Hamari Traore as he departs to be replaced by Jon Aramburu.
- 66' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Sergi Cardona.
- 70' Benat Turrientes makes way for Jon Olasagasti at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from Real Sociedad de Futbol.
- 75' Luiz Junior, a Brazil goalkeeper, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 77' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Sergio Gomez.
- 82' Villarreal CF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 82.
- 86' Real Sociedad de Futbol ring the changes. Takefusa Kubo has done his job and it is now time for Brais Mendez to step up.
- 88' A tactical swap from Villarreal CF — Karl Etta Eyong on, Yeremy off on 88 minutes.
