Awaziem penalized as Villarreal win Conference League clash, Chukwueze bags an assist

Villarreal did not give up and looked for an increase in the advantage, and they got it in the 36th. Chukwueze set Morales up, and the Spaniard who had plenty of space put the ball past Lovre Kalinic for his second of the night.

The first half then ended with a fourth goal by Unai Emery’s team Gerard Moreno summarized a quick counterattack to put his name on the scoresheet.

Villarreal were not as dangerous as in the second 45 minutes, and Hajduk punished that in the 85th minute.

Fossati converted a penalty kick which had been won by Nikola Kalinic to soften the defeat for the Croatian side.

While beating last year’s Champions League semi-finalist by two or more points will be a very difficult task for Valdas Dambrauskas’ team, they would have no choice but to do that when they take on Villarreal in next week’s second leg.
