Alavés v Villarreal player ratings: Boyé punishes lapse as Sivera thwarts late push | OneFootball

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, Villarreal’s player ratings reflect a match in which Lucas Boyé made it 1-0, the visitors pressed late but Sivera stood firm.

Luiz Júnior, five, could do nothing about Boyé’s finish and coped with crosses. Foyth, five, passed out well but left Boyé free for the opener, then missed a clear late chance. Mouriño, four, suffered against Rebbach, tired and was replaced by Freeman.

Renato Veiga, six, was the standout defensively, strong in the air and assured starting moves. Carlos Romero, four, was targeted down his side and Ángel Pérez beat him for the goal, though he carried threat going forward.

Pape Gueye, five, anchored midfield and battled well, yet lacked accuracy with the final ball. Santi Comesaña, four, is short of his physical peak and, against a compact unit, struggled to show his qualities.

Buchanan, six, was among the liveliest before the break, adding pace and nearly scoring from distance. Pepe, six, created several dangerous openings, with Sivera denying him. Gerard Moreno, six, worked the pockets and fashioned three chances.

Mikautadze, five, faded after the interval and had little second-half impact. From the bench, Freeman, six, brought intensity and sought depth down the flank. Moleiro, five, was hurried and without end product.

Ayoze, six, carried threat and forced Sivera into action. Ilias, five, had few opportunities, though he looked to take on his man.
