1’: We’re off!
9’: Uh-oh. Did Calvo take out Pépé in the box? VAR check… we’re going to the screen
10’: PENALTY FOR VILLARREAL! Ref looks at the replay screen and sees the foul!
11’: SAVE!! Dani Parejo takes it centrally but Escandell makes the block and the defense clears!
12’: EXCEPT NO!! They’re saying there was infringement! Redo!
13’: GOAL VILLARREAL! Nicolas Pépé strikes a much better penalty into the corner!
23’: Oviedo gets a shot off but it’s easily saved, fans are incensed because they think Chaira was fouled in the buildup in the box
27’: Chaira cuts inside and shoots but drags it wide of the near post.
45+4’: Viñas gets a header off from ten yards out but he’s not prepared for the cross and it goes way off-target.
45+5’: Another header for Oviedo, but Chaira can’t generate any power and Tenas makes the catch.

53’: GREAT SAVE! Reida gets a shot off through traffic from close range but somehow Tenas gets his body in the way to keep it out.

90+4’: Colombatto has a chance but he sails it over the top corner.
