Villarreal B came away with no points in their league opener against UE Cornell\u00e0 (1-0) in a clash where the Yellows, despite their high competitiveness and work rate, were defeated with a goal by Xavi Puerto in the last minute of regular time. Paco L\u00f3pez\u2019s side created some good chances and dominated for the best part of the game, but the greens\u2019 goal from a 50\/50 ball jeopardized the Reserve team\u2019s effort. Although the locals came out strong in the first few minutes, the B team knew how to withstand Cornell\u00e0\u2019s onslaught and created a clear chance for Carlos Mart\u00ednez after a pass from Larrea which the home side kept out at the last second to avoid the 0-1.
