Villareal got back into the match in the 72 minute after a good Javier Rojas strike, which was reviewed by VAR and the goal stood on the scoresheet.

Ten minutes before the full-time whistle Villareal completed the comeback with Chukwueze’s second goal of the night.

Three minutes later the referee pointed to the penalty spot for Real Madrid after Aissa Mandi handball. VAR got into the action again to check the play and made Javier Rojas reversed his decision.
