We’re just waiting for the VAR right now.
Holy shit how did he miss that?
Gerard Moreno, what a magnificent player, in the history of football almost nobody has missed from that distance.
Miss of the decade by Moreno! It’s getting way too close for them.
Moreno wide open back post fluffs the volley and it goes over the bar.
Munir on for Ocampos
Torres for Papu
Papu absent in the second half.
Gerard miss a sitter, Lucky not to concede.
Please Lope, this is at home, you can’t be this conservative AND no counter.
Looks better here, but can’t finish. Torres has been brilliant since coming on finding a ton of space with some great passing. Ludwig gets in behind, but touch lets him down.
6 minutes of extra time.
4 goals and 2 assists in the last 7 games for Ocampos, after he had a dry spell for ages before that. Happy to see that only easy goal gave him his swagger back!
Why?
It doesn’t compute
3 points. I have to confess I didn’t think we would chalk up 3 today.
Damn, it pained him to blow the whistle.
OCAMPOS MOTM so good.
Huge 3 points after 2 matches without a win. One of our better performances so far. This 1-0 win didn’t look or feel like the others. How many shots did we block from Villarreal? This is the defending i’ve come to know and love.
Now let’s finish the job in Salzburg! VAMOS !!

Now he and his family aren’t save anymore for the LaLiga Mafia
I missed the game due to being out with friends. A very good win though. These are the sorts of wins I’m very proud of by the team and lopetegui. A very difficult opponent but under lopetegui more often than not we win them. I haven’t seen it but sounds like our defence was rock solid and ocampos was the star again. A great win as we bounced back from from the last 2 league results.
We are up to second in la liga, through in copa del Rey and have a good chance to advance in champions league. If we win in Salzburg it’s a unbelievable start to the season. Vamos Sevilla!
Typical Lope win, once again. We suffered a lot in the second half, not sure why we didn’t at least keep the control like in the first. Villarreal are no joke and they can beat any team on a good day - they were very close to drawing with that open-goal miss of the year from their player (can’t remember who it was).
The worst thing about our game is that we are not training counter-attacking schemes in order to successfully utilize them when needed. Neglecting that part is a big mistake - we’ve had at least 2 great countering chances today and blew them away. One of them was a 5 vs 2 occasion, and the players were clueless about positioning, movement and passing while the counter was developing. Shameful!
Anyway, important 3 points against a decent team like Villarreal. Now we have a mini-final to attend on Wednesday against RB Salzburg. VAMOS!
It was Gerard Moreno? Wow… that miss was scandalous, even more so for a NT striker.
I mean he is coming off an injury but that is one that you would expect a 10 year old to score, let alone a professional
Either Sociedad or Madrid are guaranteed to drop points, same with Barcelona or . I hope for two draws, I guess
