Intertoto cup, second round first leg

Odense 0 - Villarreal 3

A good start for Villarreal in their first official match of the season, the Spaniards running out 0-3 winners against OB Odense in this first leg of their Intertoto cup tie. New manager Manuel Pellegrini had only had one week to work with his squad after their return from vacations, and there was concern that they might struggle against a team who had already scored seven goals against Ballymena in the first round. But although the Danish club did give Reina some work before the break, three goals in the last quarter of the match from Sonny Anderson, Cazorla and Guayre were enough to put them virtually through to the next round.
