Unai Emery\u2019s side were, however, incapable of translating their dominance into great opportunities when faced with a side who were so well drilled in defence. Affected by a number of injuries, Villarreal lined up at El Alcoraz with a different-looking starting XI, with Carlos Bacca returning to the line-up to lead the line, and Ramiro Funes Mori accompanying Pau Torres and Ra\u00fal Albiol in the defence. Emery set his team up with three centre-backs, with Rub\u00e9n Pe\u00f1a and Alfonso Pedraza as wing-backs.

However, despite the Yellows\u2019 dominance, Villarreal came up against a well-drilled defence, who did not give up much space at all.

The Yellows were superior to their opponents, taking the initiative against an opponent who sat back in defence and were happy with a draw. Unai Emery\u2019s side were, however, incapable of translating their dominance into great opportunities when faced with a side who were so well drilled in defence. Affected by a number of injuries, Villarreal lined up at El Alcoraz with a different-looking starting XI, with Carlos Bacca returning to the line-up to lead the line, and Ramiro Funes Mori accompanying Pau Torres and Ra\u00fal Albiol in the defence. Emery set his team up with three centre-backs, with Rub\u00e9n Pe\u00f1a and Alfonso Pedraza as wing-backs. From the kick-off, the Yellows were well organised, building moves well and pressing well, stopping Huesca from creating dangerous goalscoring opportunities. However, despite the Yellows\u2019 dominance, Villarreal came up against a well-drilled defence, who did not give up much space at all. The only goalscoring chance of the first half fell to Bacca, who, without much angle at all, tried a rabona shot, which came off the far post. Had it have gone in, it would have been ruled out for offside though. In the opening moments of the second half, Villarreal had a great chance to go ahead on the scoreboard. The home side\u2019s goalkeeper \u00c1lvaro Fern\u00e1ndez made a great save to keep out Moi G\u00f3mez, who shot from the heart of the box, after a quick transition by Dani Parejo and Pedraza. In the 60th minute, Emery looked to the bench to try and revolutionise the Yellows in attack. He brought on Paco Alc\u00e1cer and Yeremy Pino for Bacca and Manu Trigueros. Later on, Pervis Estupi\u00f1\u00e1n, Francis Coquelin and Fer Ni\u00f1o also came on. Villarreal lacked the fluidity in attack that they have shown in other games and were incapable of breaking down SD Huesca\u2019s defence. The game ended 0-0, with the points shared at El Alcoraz.
