Villarreal are virtually sure of a place in the league stage of the competition after a convincing 0-3 win in Kazakhstan. The locals had already won through three rounds, and they caused a few problems early on. However with just over half an hour gone Cani opened the scoring, bouncing the ball past Eric after Cheryshev�s shot was blocked, and just three minutes in to the second half Gio made it two with a shot from close up after intercepting a wayward effort from Trigueros. Astana were left with ten men a few minutes later after Anicic picked up a second booking, and substitute Vietto missed an open goal just seconds after coming on. However Mario Gaspar scored a third with seven minutes to go, and Foxi fired the home side�s best chance over the bar with the game already in time added on.
