The Champions League semi-final between Villarreal and Liverpool seemed a foregone conclusion. But the Yellow Submarine didn’t give up and from the very first minute they unleashed all hell, culminating in the opening goal.
Liverpool won 2-0 at home and went to Spain knowing they couldn’t get a quick goal to keep the home side out of the game. Only it didn’t.
Villarreal, with the help of their fans, raised hell and scored in the 3rd minute. And it wasn’t an accidental goal, but a rather good one.
Estupinan’s overhit centre was perfectly taken down by Capoué and Boulaye Dia, who replaced the injured Danjuma, tapped the ball into the net.
Villarreal thus started the match brilliantly and began their drive to turn around Liverpool’s two-goal lead. The great atmosphere at Estádio de La Cerámica from the start helped.
