Unfortunately it was certainly not a good game largely because the Ref gave a second yellow to a player he clearly forgot he gave a first to within the first 2 mins of the second half. Completely killed the game. Ended 1-1For anyone interested, Baena’s Villarreal take on Williams’s Bilbao in an hour. Both start. Villarreal not having a great season but until their 1-0 loss to Atletico last week were on a 4 match win streak in the league. Should be a good game.
Was a bit of a mixed bag for both players. Baena in the first half won a pen but also missed a good chance to score. In general he probably wasn’t utilised as much as he should, he picked up some great positions but didn’t really make a mark on proceedings. Second half it was a fairly workmanlike performance from him and in general he sat a lot deeper due to being down a man. In the first half he played exactly the same position as I mentioned above, he stayed primarily between the left half space and the centre but on occasion drifted wide.
Williams also failed to affect the game, he made one or two very dangerous runs that caused panic in the defence but his final ball was significantly lacking and at times he hung onto the ball too long allowing a defender to nick the ball from him or he just straight up miss controlled it resulting in a turn over.
Both players have had better games.
