However, the yellow submarine started the meeting very badly. Despite a slight domination, the locals conceded the opening goal signed Borja Iglesias (0-1, 12th). Even after Cardona equalized in the 26th minute (1-1), the Galicians regained the advantage thanks to Oscar Mingueza (1-2, 31st). Coming into play a few seconds before, Thierno Barry, recently recruited by Villar-real, brought the two teams back to level with a stinging header on his first ball (2-2, 60th). Four minutes later, Ayoze Perez, another new signing from the Ceramica stadium, gave his team the lead with an ideal cross from Nicolas Pépé (3-2, 65th). Ultimately, the Ivorian winger’s teammates were unable to hold on to this advantage and Carl Starfelt equalised ten minutes from the end (3-3, 80th). After a stunning end to the match, Villarreal finally regained the lead at the end of the suspense.
