00:00Hello and welcome to the Estadio de la Ceramica. Matchday 29 in La Liga EA Sports begins this evening with
00:06an attractive looking game here between Villarreal and Real Sociedad.
00:10The hosts looking to go third with a win this evening. They boast an excellent home record and are aiming
00:15to get back to winning ways after a draw at Alaves last weekend.
00:19This is the starting 11-4 of Villarreal. They make three changes from the side that drew 1-1 at
00:24Alaves last weekend. Renato Vega, Alberto Molero and Gerard Moreno coming into the starting 11.
00:30It's the first start in La Liga for Gerard Moreno for nearly two months. Gorrocha Tegui coming in for DJ
00:36Caletacar and Peña Turrientes.
00:39Turrientes actually played in all 15 games in all competitions under Pellegrino Matarazzo. However, he is suspended for tonight's match.
00:49He is at Anabella.
00:50He tells us about the team, the performances they are as a team, as individuals, being called up for the
00:55national team.
00:57We are underway then. Friday night football from the Estadio de la Ceramica in Villarreal as the yellow submarine host.
01:03Real Sociedad, both sides in their traditional colours. Villarreal in all yellow kicking from right to left in this first
01:10half.
01:12Gonzalo Guedes also in the Portugal squad. I promise the whole broadcast won't be talking about players.
01:17who have been called up for the national teams.
01:20And there are quite a few, obviously.
01:24Timely.
01:25It's flicked in and Gerard Moreno was all alone to open the scoring for Villarreal.
01:31It's a really well-worked set piece from the hosts and Gerard Moreno completely unmarked.
01:38There he is.
01:40I don't think yet. I was hoping that that ball, or waiting, that that ball would not make it through.
01:46And it's Gerard not stopping and guessing where that ball was going and really getting unmarked.
01:53It's going probably one of the easiest goals that he probably scored.
01:57Eighth league goal of the season for Gerard Moreno, a dedication.
02:02Well, that one, I think, is for the family.
02:06Molero.
02:08Here he is, Molero.
02:12Still Molero, and he's found Gerard, and can he finish it?
02:16And Michal Tate!
02:19Well, Gerard Moreno could have had a second.
02:21In the end, it's George Michal Tate who finishes off that move.
02:25And Villarreal have doubled their lead.
02:29What a fantastic run for Molero.
02:31We're saying how key players in this Villarreal tune in.
02:36And here is, fantastic play by Villarreal.
02:39There's one touch, and there's Molero with a run.
02:44Gerard in the space, I think it's a bit too far from him to hit the ball properly,
02:50but Michal Tate makes a great follow-up in the play.
02:57We're saying, like, Villarreal is comfortable on the counter.
03:00That's a proper counter.
03:04I wonder if Ramiro could have done a little bit better there.
03:07Real Sociedad produce their first attacking threat here.
03:12We haven't had a shot yet from them.
03:14Here is Barrene.
03:20We need to be careful here because we can see how dangerous they are on the counter of Villarreal.
03:25And Molero is through here.
03:27Molero to make it three.
03:29And it falls to Michal Tate.
03:31And he puts it wide.
03:33What a chance that was for Villarreal.
03:37Also, wait for that moment, that chance to get the ball and just run into space.
03:43Here they come again.
03:46Michal Tate.
03:49Pepe is through again to make it three.
03:53Can he get the shot away?
03:54It's deflected and in.
03:57The third goal comes for Villarreal.
04:00They are running riot against Real Sociedad.
04:04It is three midway through the first half.
04:07Nicholas Pepe with the third.
04:09And they look unstoppable every time they break forward.
04:13There is.
04:14It's right with the shot.
04:16Good tackle.
04:18He could touch it.
04:19It was before.
04:19Right before.
04:20Here it is.
04:21There.
04:21Just made a foul.
04:23Mm-hmm.
04:23You stop here.
04:24They had already four players on the run.
04:28Obviously, one against three, then four.
04:31I'll be lucky on the deflection, to be honest.
04:33But you can stop that in the opposition half when Villarreal has the ball far from your goal.
04:43Except that, fantastic.
04:45Another encounter for Villarreal.
04:47I think sometimes that belief, that trust in what you're doing and knowing that it's working.
04:50I haven't mentioned Mourinho too much because Guedes hasn't attacked him.
04:56I haven't mentioned either of them.
04:57Yes.
04:58Nicely done, though, by the Uruguayan as he comes forward now and finds Gerard Moreno.
05:03Here's Molero.
05:06It's crowded out in the end.
05:09Now a chance for Guedes potentially to come forward.
05:13But he's swamped by Yellow Shirts and fouled by Pepe.
05:19Real Sociedad don't play until the Monday afterwards.
05:22So it will be over two weeks for them to stew on this potential defeat unless they can get back
05:29into it here.
05:30Yeah.
05:34He's not lost a game when he's been in the advantage on the scoreline.
05:39Villarreal goal.
05:41Here's Bryce Mendes looking to play it out wide to Gomez.
05:47Deflected cross.
05:51Behind for a corner.
06:00It's in by Gomez.
06:01Whipped in.
06:03It was a vicious cross.
06:05He's headed behind.
06:09Clearance is charged down.
06:11Soler to Guedes.
06:16Decided to take the shot on Guedes.
06:19And then just to get there.
06:23Never the quickest Gerard Moreno, but he's strong and clever.
06:30often knocks him by an extra yard.
06:35That's why.
06:41Comisanya comes forward and he feeds Pepe and there is space here for Nicola Pepe.
06:47Papge with the shot.
06:49Blocked by Arampuru.
06:50It's not cleared.
06:53Here's Pepe.
06:56Really good chance for Villarreal.
07:00Again.
07:02Continues his run.
07:03Gets it back.
07:06Two players in the box for Villarreal.
07:08Others arriving now.
07:09One of them is Santi Comisanya.
07:10Here is Comisanya.
07:12Back to Pepe.
07:14Denied by the woodwork.
07:17That would have been an extraordinary goal.
07:24I can be very comfortable.
07:26Put the ball on the passes.
07:28Here's Molero and Comisanya and can they finish it off?
07:34It was almost too easy.
07:37And at the other end, here's Mikeloi Arzabal.
07:40Great touch there.
07:41Mikeloi Arzabal to make it.
07:423-1.
07:43Brilliant save from Luis Junior.
07:46Mikel Arzabal did almost everything right there.
07:50Denied by the Brazilian goalkeeper.
08:00He scored a stunning goal at Mendes Roza last week to get a 97th minute equalizer against Alaves.
08:08And that was brilliantly hit once again.
08:11And at the other end of the pitch.
08:15And Fabal so, so close.
08:19Five minutes added on.
08:26From Pedraza.
08:29It went straight at Gerard Moreno who couldn't angle it towards goal.
08:33That is the final action of what has been a pretty extraordinary.
08:38First half, Villarreal dismantling.
08:41Action that we haven't seen in the first half of Real Sociedad.
08:44And there has been a substitution.
08:46We'll tell you more about that in just a second.
08:49We saw Luka Suchic come on.
08:52Out comes Luis Junior.
08:55He doesn't get there.
08:56And La Real have a goal back.
09:01Luka Suchic, the one who came on.
09:04It felt like something changed, obviously.
09:07Again, it's sometimes this way of thinking.
09:11This thing happens.
09:12A bit lucky.
09:14In the way, again, the deflection goes his way.
09:17Junior Luis comes out, no?
09:20In the best ways.
09:23A bit of communication there.
09:26And again, the double deflection this time benefits Real Sociedad.
09:30But it brings back Real Sociedad when they needed it.
09:35In the early minutes of the second half.
09:37I think he's taking responsibility.
09:42He thought he was going to be generous now.
09:48That's a good ball in.
09:51And the header.
09:53In the end, Mourinho denied by Ramiro.
09:57He was going in.
09:58So, yeah, the goalkeeper comes out and shouts goalie.
10:02Mourinho maybe left it all.
10:04But if you come out as a goalkeeper, you just...
10:07Oh, what a save from Ramiro.
10:10He's denied Pepe again.
10:12There's a long way to go yet.
10:13At least 20 minutes.
10:26There's a bit too much desire from Gonzalo Guedes there.
10:30Matarazzo, Real Sociedad.
10:33And a late winner at Getafe.
10:35The equalizer against Oviedo.
10:38The equalizer against Osasuna in the Copa del Rey.
10:43Great ball.
10:45And Mikhail Tadze is through and surely he must finish.
10:51That is an unforgivable miss for a number nine.
10:55Through on goal.
10:57Mikhail Tadze getting into the box.
11:00Cleared by Martino.
11:02Only as far as Pepe.
11:05Here's Papier.
11:08Mikhail Tadze.
11:09The flag has stayed down.
11:12Mikhail Tadze drives it at Ramiro.
11:14Mikhail Tadze continued.
11:16Here is Gay.
11:19Mikhail Tadze.
11:21And still Mikhail Tadze.
11:23And Ramiro is fuming.
11:26And also celebrating the save.
11:30Which just about keeps his side in this game.
11:33Yeah, he's just getting too easy in those positions.
11:39Transmere interventions by Ramiro.
11:42Which Mikhail Tadze tries to surprise in the near post.
11:53Disappointing for a corner routine.
11:57We'll get a free kick here.
11:59And a yellow card for Gonzalo Gires.
12:05Let's go for Pepe to stop it.
12:13Came out a little bit ragged.
12:19As Pedraza picks up that loose ball.
12:22Nobody wants to have the ball.
12:23And towards Mikhail Tadze.
12:27He could have had four goals tonight easily.
12:31George Mikhail Tadze.
12:38Picking up that loose ball.
12:40Taking advantage of the slip.
12:41Playing a glorious ball.
12:43Very demanding.
12:45And get something to your players.
12:46Obviously performance was very good.
12:49Here's Oskarsson.
12:51Oh!
12:52Terrific from Oskarsson.
12:53But the offside flag is up.
12:55It's up there.
12:57What a shame for Ory Oskarsson.
13:00He took that so well.
13:01I know, yeah.
13:02But he calm and relax when he does the first touch.
13:06Maybe he do.
13:09There.
13:09The first touch is fine.
13:10Oh, if he's in.
13:20It is.
13:22The first touch is fine.
13:23The Matarazzo.
13:25The Matarazzo.
13:37Here's Guay.
13:38And there's space here for Pepe.
13:42He pulls it back to Guay.
13:47Another really good opening.
13:50He saw the space.
13:52He saw the gap.
13:53So what he put it but it went higher.
14:01a great game shall be thinking about all those
14:11there is the full-time whistle Villarreal beating Real Sociedad by three goals to one
14:16the damage done in a first half blitz from the hosts three goals in the opening 23 minutes
14:22Genard Moreno, Mikhail Tadzi and Pepe, Luka Suchic pulling one back at the start of the second half
14:29Real Sociedad couldn't find a way back into this game Villarreal worthy winners and they move up to third in
14:37the table
14:37and the Estadio de la Ceramica it's finished Villarreal three, Real Sociedad one
14:52Jonak
