Bad Epiphany Eve for the txuri urdin. Real fell to Villarreal 1-2 in a match in which they deserved more. However, the visitors were more efficient and the realistas come away with no reward in their first match of the year.

The match between two offensive and courageous teams looked very promising, and this has been the case. The realistas dominated and had good chances. In a fantastic piece of play, Portu crossed from the right and William José found the back of the net to open the scoring. The team from Castellón pushed forward but did not create clear goal scoring chances.

Real went all out in the second half but the yellows squalised with a penalty. Trigueros beat Remiro and everything started again. Merino could have added a second but failed to kill it off. The match became more complicated with a goal by Cazorla and no much time was left. Real pushed forward but with no luck. It’s a shame to start the new year with a defeat but this is just the beginning. This crash changes nothing. Aupa Real!
