- 0' We are underway at Estadio de la Ceramica. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Stade Rennais FC 1901 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Villarreal CF that had 407 games and scored 555 goals.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Villarreal CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' 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 Ludovic Blas suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 32' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 41' Dani Parejo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 47 Yellow cards this season.

- 58' A meaty challenge results in booking for Adrien Truffert on 58.
- 63' Stade Rennais FC 1901 is showing some good football. However, Stade Rennais FC 1901 are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
