Withstood the “hammering” of Sevilla and was… executed by Villarreal in the final!

Her first double after five full years at “Sanchez Pithuan” was celebrated on Friday night (23/08) by Villarreal!

The “yellow submarine” turned out to be… highly cynical against the Sevilleleaving Andalusia with the great 2-1, in the context of the 2nd matchday of La Liga!

What if the hosts were the ones who “pounded” the opposing home? “Cerberus”, Diego Contewho shouted “present” many times – the visitors’ keeper was named MVP of the match – kept Villarreal upright for the longest period of the match, with Marthelino’s team “stealing” the three points in 5th minute of stoppage time with a goal by Ayothe Perez.

Earlier, in the first half, the visitors were the ones who opened the scoring just at 2nd minute with Dajuma, to be followed by Sevijani’s draw with Loukebakios at 45+6′.

In the replay, it was the home side who had a touch of the goal on several occasions, however, the long-awaited goal never came. Somehow, Villarreal moved up to 4 points and 2nd place in the standings, with Sevilla staying in 16th place with just one point.
