Ayoze and Baena knock out a huge Hein in Pucela

Barry, in the 29th minute, put Marcelino's team ahead when Valladolid showed itself at its best. Sylla, via penalty, sealed the tie in the 59th minute. Ayoze, towards the end, scored Villarreal's second.

Match of paradoxes… Of strange, contradictory moments. When Valladolid played best, on two occasions, Villarreal scored two golden goals that knocked out a spectacular Hein who made more than five fundamental saves throughout the match.

Although Valladolid took possession of the ball at the dawn of the match, Villarreal reflected calmness by moving without the ball. Marcelino's team, with its double line of four, allowed the locals to touch the ball from side to side. However, The Pucelanos understood one of the maxims of modern football: handling the ball based on tiki-taka is not synonymous with goals, with depth.

Diego Conde had two interventions in which he avoided a 1-0 lead. Those from Castellón, when no one expected it, took the lead after defining a good play that was concluded by a powerful Barry in the 29th minute. The goal marked a change of roles. Villarreal, after the goal, decided to orchestrate the pace of the match and went comfortably to the locker room.

Just at the beginning of the second half, Baena, one of Villarreal's best players at the dawn of the campaign, crashed a ball against the post with a shot from the front. Valladolid seemed worn out and confused until an individual error by Logan Costa, who knocked down Sylla in the area, was awarded a penalty. Sylla himself was in charge of converting the penalty to make it 1-1 in the 59th minute.
