Two scenes, two atmospheres. If Villarreal has just lost 4 of its 5 Champions League matches, the start of the season for Marcelino’s men is much more exciting in the league. Against Real Sociedad this afternoon, the Yellow Submarine scored a fifth success in a row (2-3). For the supporters who traveled to the Basque Country, the end of the match was certainly unbearable.
After a superb collective movement extended by Pedraza’s center, Ayoze Perez first opened the scoring (31st, 0-1). Moleiro made the break with a superb shot under the bar (57th, 0-2), until the Basques reacted. Carlos Soler then scored a sublime goal by in turn finding Remiro’s top corner (61st, 1-2), then Barrenetxea equalized with a sensational free kick before stoppage time (87th, 2-2). While we were heading towards a draw, Moleiro finally appeared from a corner to trigger a half-volley and offer victory to his team (90+5th, 2-3). Villarreal is provisionally 2nd, ahead of Real Madrid. Real Sociedad is 9th.
