Events

Match Events

  • 0' Villarreal CF have kicked off against Valencia CF. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' Valencia CF fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 6' GOAL! Paco Alcacer fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 11' 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.
  • 12' Iborra was booked on 12.
  • 17' 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.
  • 22' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Javi Gracia will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 27' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 32' 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 Uros Racic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' Goncalo Guedes adds to his 0 season tally! Valencia CF lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 42' Trigueros is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Valencia CF tonight.
  • 47' Valencia CF have won 398 goals from 422 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 52' A moment of madness from Alfonso Pedraza on 52 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Villarreal CF will be frustrated.
  • 53' The whistle greets Alejandro Blanco as he departs to be replaced by Denis Cheryshev.
  • 58' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 63' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 64' Francis Coquelin is replacing Trigueros for the Villarreal CF side.
  • 69' Goal! Dani Parejo scores his 41 goal in 422 matches.
  • 72' Takefusa Kubo is having his name booked by the referee on 72.
  • 77' With 0 assists to his name this season, Moi Gomez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Valencia CF.
  • 82' Carlos Bacca has so much to prove this time. He replaces Paco Alcacer on 82 minute.
  • 83' Jason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yunus Musah on 83 minute.
  • 84' The referee calls foul for Gabriel Paulista. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 84' The supporters are chanting for Kevin Gameiro. He replaces Daniel Wass on 84 minute.
  • 89' Villarreal CF is showing some good football. However, Villarreal CF are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 90' The Valencia CF bench stirs into life. Goncalo Guedes is withdrawn and Manu Vallejo gets his opportunity.
  • 90' Takefusa Kubo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 90.
  • Full Time. Villarreal CF beats Valencia CF
