Villarreal vs Barcelona: Exciting Showdown and 2-2 Tie

Straight

Villarreal and Barcelona are facing each other this Sunday. At the moment, there is a tie 2-2. Gavi headed the first culé goal after a good center from Lamine Yamal. Shortly after, a good choral play ended with luck in De Jong’s boots, who scored the second at will. Foyth cut the gap in a corner, thanks to a great header and Sorloth pushed a Gerard delivery into the net to overcome the two-goal deficit. The Catalans do not want a repeat of Getafe in their second away game of the course. In front they will have a rival with a very different game, Villarreal trained by the ex-Culé coach Quique Setién. The yellows recovered from the defeat on the first day with a win in Mallorca, while Barça suffered a great deal to end up opening the can against Cádiz. Xavi’s men cannot lose any more ground with Real Madrid (who have been full of victories) in this league start and they want to extend their streak in the yellow fiefdom, where they have won on their last four visits and where they have not lost since 2007.

51’28” – End of the first part!

51’00” – Robert Lewandowski yellow card

51’00” – Juan Marcos Foyth yellow card

48’14 ” – Jorge Cuenca went with everything down! What a great action by Lamine Yamal on the right lane of the Blaugrana attack who got away from two rivals to enter the area and test a shot that was blocked by the Villarreal center-back, who had the bad luck of not being able to avoid in his cut the player who ended up crashing into him. Little by little the groguet player recovers.

45’17” – We will have six more minutes of the game in this first half.

44’00” – Yellow card for Lamine Yamal after grabbing Alfonso Pedraza and preventing his progress.

44’00” – Tarjeta amarilla Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana

40’00” – Goal Alexander Sørloth

37’34” – Filip Jorgensen catches without problems. Second play that fell and Ilaki Gundogan in a position slightly away from the front, but that still did not prevent the German with Turkish ancestry from trying a shot that forced the Swedish goalkeeper to go to the ground to stop the ball.

33’00” – The game has entered a section with a lot of rhythm as soon as the ball falls into the possession of a Villarreal who launches the attack, while FC Barcelona tries to develop calmly, with many passing minutes that go opening to the locals, crossing lines until finding the space towards the area.

30’28” – How well positioned was Marc-Andre ter Stegen to stop Alex Baena’s shot. A chance from a set piece for Villarreal that the young youth squad player groguet was in charge of launching, who tested it with a direct launch that did not disturb the German goalkeeper at all. Very safe to stop that powerful shot.

28’02” – Villarreal grows again in the match, spurred on by Juan Foyth’s goal and attacking FC Barcelona that defends itself as best it can from the attacks of a very aggressive ‘Submarine’ once again. That is the line that the yellow team tries to install, although this time also trying to be effective in their own half, where they do not allow the Catalans to grow.

26’00” – Goal Juan Marcos Foyth

26’00” – Goal Juan Marcos Foyth

19’49” – Forced to leave Marc-Andre ter Stegen to clear the center of Alex Baena. He is being one of the most active members of the ‘Submarino’ the ’16’ who tries to try it in all ways. On this occasion, it was a cross from distance for Alexandre Sorloth in which the goalkeeper had to intervene with his fists leaving his area.

16’31” – Harsh punishment for a Villarreal who, with chances and playing a few minutes of great play, finds themselves against in just three minutes with two goals behind on the scoreboard. The game is uphill for Quique Setién’s men who, let’s remember, are up against a FC Barcelona that has not yet conceded a single goal in the two days that we have been in the championship.

15’00” – Gol Frenkie de Jong

13’49” – Lamine Yamal disarmed the defense of Villarreal with his feint, who took a step to leave, and that allowed the Blaugrana offense to read the action, with a Gavi who reached the shot on goal but had just behind Robert Lewandowski is also ready to try.

12’00” – Goal Pablo Martín Páez Gavira

08’07” – Two warnings in a row from Villarreal who are tightening the nuts on a FC Barcelona that seemed more dominating in the early stages of the match. However, that action, finally annulled by Capoue’s previous touch that would leave Sorloth offside, has spurred the local team that is especially eager.
