Another mid-summer “after-hours” game on Sunday night, with Villarreal winning 0-2 at regional rivals Levante. The goals came in the second half with the clock already past midnight, Uche turning past a defender to score the first, and Cheryshev getting on the end of a Moi Gómez cross to wrap things up near the end. Luckily Villarreal didn’t have to travel too far to get home!
