The Yellows found the net thanks to a fantastic cross from Gerard Moreno, which Sokratis put through his own net. Minutes later, the Submarine reaffirmed their good start with another scoring chance. Gerard Moreno himself came up against Rui Silva minutes later after a pass to the far post from \u00c1lex Baena. The game was becoming more and more of a head-to-head . In the 66th minute, Jorgensen saved Marcelino\u2019s side with a superb save from Nabil Fekir. After the Danish goalkeeper\u2019s intervention, Villarreal started a quick transition, led by Gerard, who passed for Alex Sorloth to shoot past Rui Silva and make it 2-3. Just four minutes later, referee Hern\u00e1ndez Hern\u00e1ndez sent off Alberto Moreno and Chimy \u00c1vila for a scuffle. Both teams were down to ten men at the Benito Villamar\u00edn. Faced with this new situation, Marcelino introduced a triple substitution to freshen up the team and try to manage the advantage on the scoreboard. Cuenca, Coquelin and Ilias Akhomach came on to replace Gerard, Traor\u00e9 and Baena. In the closing stages, Capoue came on for Comesa\u00f1a and Mosquera for Kiko in search of more freshness and lungs for the Submarine. The minutes were ticking away for both teams and Villarreal had to manage the valuable advantage in such a difficult venue as the Benito Villamar\u00edn. With good defensive work and a lot of skill, the Submarine took a valuable victory at a tough ground to visit.","url":"","background_image":"","images":[],"videos":[{"type":"video","kind":"iframe","url":"https:\/\/widgets.besoccerapps.com\/scripts\/widgets?type=match_detail&match=30519&season=2024&flag=escudo&style=villarreal","poster":""}],"links":[]}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Villarreal
