Villarreal continued to push forward with nice team moves, and were calmer than in the opening stages, slowly taking control of the match, However, they were unable to get many clear chances, other than a cross-cum-shot from Mangel, and they went into half-time 2-1 down. In the second half, the first 15 minutes saw a phase of static play and possession for Pere Mart\u00ed\u2019s side, but the home side kept up a solid defence and conceded little to the \u2018Groguet\u2019. At this point, the Moncofa coach brought on Sergio Hinojosa and Dani Clavijo. However, AZ soon scored their third goal of the game, scored by Meerdink, to extend the lead. But the Yellows Academy would not give up so easily and, shortly after, Jorge Pascual, with a magnificent touch followed by a volley, scored the second \u2018Groguet\u2019 goal to close the gap on the scoreline. In the 87th minute, new substitute Bachuri headed home from a corner at the far post to level the score. The match therefore went to penalties and Villarreal again had the chance to seal their place in the last 16 of the top youth continental competition. However, the spot-kicks led to a cruel outcome for the Cantera Grogueta, who will now be bidding their farewell to the Youth League.
