Rossi has the ball in the back of the net, a neat low finish from 18 yards, but Nilmar is very harshly adjudged to have handled in the build-up. That was totally inadvertent, the ball was flicked up on to his hand by a defender.

I initially thought Alexis was booked for his earlier tackle, but not apparently.

Cani with the corner and Musacchio attacks but Palop gets down low to the left to save. First real chance of the game.

Alexis with a late trip on Cazorla. Cazorla feigns injury before getting up. Taken short and Cazorla scuttles down the right to win a corner.

Catala with an interception on Perotti. The left-back is standing in for Spain's Joan Capdevila, who is on the bench tonight.

Aimless ball from Romaric is back with Lopez. Slowish start to this game.

Free-kick to Sevilla then, around 35 yards out, Cigarini over it... he plays it into the box, it's half cleared and drops back to the Italian who fires well wide from the edge of the box.

Sevilla put together a string of passes but Senna trips Zokora and it's a free-kick.

Rossi zips down the left, and is fouled by Zokora. Villarreal free-kick but they look back into their own half.

The first half is underway at El Madrigal.

Luis Fabiano is out injured for Sevilla, who have been very inconsistent but can move to sixth if they win tonight. Villarreal, meanwhile, have just slipped to fourth after Espanyol's win. Victory would put them back third.
