An incredibly unlucky patriot! Watch how Villarreal lost the win over Atlético in the setup

Villarreal won a lot of sympathy with their Europa League victory over Manchester United and will now look to the Champions League. However, they must also fight for position in the league, where the yellow submarine was still leading the champions in the fifth minute of the setup. But Atlético Madrid takes the draw thanks to an incredibly controversial own goal.

Two 0:0 draws is how Villarreal started the new season. First against Granada, then against Espanyol. In the third round came one of the toughest opponents, Unaia Emery’s charges travelled to the Wanda Metropolitano, the stadium of champions Atlético Madrid.

However, Moreno and co. could teach a lesson in productivity. Atlético did create a lot of pressure, but it didn’t have the desired effect. In the 52nd minute, Manu Trigueros opened the scoring, sending Villarreal into the lead. It was the visitors’ first shot of the game.

Luis Suárez equalised in the 56th minute, but in the 74th minute, Arnaut Danjuma took the lead back for the yellow submarine. This was only Villarreal’s second shot. Thus, the visitors shot only twice in the whole match and scored two goals, a truly amazing productivity.

Villarreal also scored a third goal, but it was incredibly unlucky. It was in the own goal and only in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Saul Niguez, rather out of necessity, kicked a long ball from his own half into Villarreal’s half, which Rulli ran for. Aissa Mandi tried to head it in, but the Argentine goalkeeper was already out of the box and the ball went into the net.

Villarreal thus lost the win in the setup, moreover, for Aissa Mandi the engagement in the yellow jersey did not start completely happily. First the summer signing from Betis missed a penalty in the Super Cup against Chelsea, now with her own goal she deprived her team of a win on the ground of the champion.
