The goals from Samu Chukwueze and Karl Toko Ekambi were key. The first lineup of Garc\u00eda at Villarreal was a 4-4-2, with Santi C\u00e1seres and Javi Fuego in a double pivot and Chukwueze and Pablo Fornals on the wing. Up front, it was Gerard Moreno and Toko Ekambi. The Yellow Submarine got an early strike in. With ten minutes gone, Gerard shot, the ball bounced around in defence, before falling to Chukwueze\u2019s feet. The Nigerian beat his marker easily, and put the ball out of the reach of the Spartak goalkeeper at the far post. Spartak Moscow reacted quickly, looking for the equaliser, making Andr\u00e9s Fern\u00e1ndez spring into action.
