City Dominated The Early Stages, With Haaland And Jeremy Doku Both Testing Villarreal’s Goalkeeper Within Minutes Of Kickoff.
Captain Bernardo Silva Doubled The Lead Before Halftime, Heading Home From Savinho’s Well-Placed Cross. Villarreal Pushed For A Response In The Second Half, With Pape Gueye Forcing A Save From Gianluigi Donnarumma And Renato Veiga Hitting The Post Late On.
City Held Firm To Claim All Three Points, Maintaining Pep Guardiola’s Unbeaten Record Against Villarreal In Nine Meetings. The Only Concern For City Was An Apparent Injury To Midfielder Nico Gonzalez, Who Limped Off Just Before The Hour Mark.
