Villarreal 2 – Salzburg 1: goals and results of the Europa League

GERARD MORENO GIVES YOU WINGS

Better call Gerard. In delicate situations, extraordinary strikers. The 7With a double, he channeled a game that for the moment was dyed black and reaffirmed his enormous state of form. Because Salzburg came out like a typhoon, they went ahead and had the Submarine on the ropes. The Austrian goal was preceded by a grotesque error by Rulli, who missed the ball, gave it away and Berisha dialed at will.

It was a really nervous first 40 minutes. But there it appeared Gerard to calm the waters and, after cutting Stankovic in a heads up, send her to the network. Pure oxygen. After passing through the changing rooms, the movie was another. Villarreal regained their position and dictated both the pace and the pauses.

Although there was a scare: penalty by Capoue's hand … that the VAR withdrew. The referee pointed it out initially, but after going to the screen he backed off when he understood that the player's involuntaryness was maximum. The sentence arrived in 89 ', thanks to an innocent Stankovic penalty on Gerard Moreno. The forward took responsibility and deceived the goalkeeper.

The Submarine will be in the Europa League round of 16 draw, which will be held this Friday, at 1:00 p.m., in Nyon. The dream lives on. They already know: Gerard gives you wings.
