Villarreal wipe out 2-0 first leg lead in first half!!

The Estadio de la Ceramica could not believe it at half-time. Unai Emery's men needed to fight back from 2-0 down from the first leg. Few thought they had a chance of turning it around and even fewer people thought the tie would be level at the interval. 

Capoue just took three minutes to show that he was going to be the man of the first half. He assisted Boulaye Dia and Coquelin for their goals. 

Just a few minutes earlier, La Ceramica were shouting for a penalty after Lo Celso went down under contact from Alisson. However, they then made it 2-0 in the 41st minute to level the tie. 

Capoue, once again on the right flank in attack, received the ball and miscontrolled. But that long ball allowed him to collect it, get into the box, beat Robertson and cross for Coquelin who headed the ball home.
