Europa League Final: Villarreal takes the lead against Manchester United

In the 29th minute of the game, Gerard Moreno scored a goal to give Villarreal a 1-0 lead in the first half of the Europa League final being played at the Gdansk Arena in Poland.

Villarreal's first shot on target

It was practically Villarreal's first shot on target, after a start of the game dominated by United, who came out with a strong press that caused the Yellow Submarine to lose many balls and suffer especially in the early stages of the game.

Improvement from Villarreal

After the first 20 minutes, Unai Emery's team managed to improve after a hesitant start against a Manchester United side that did not pose too much danger to Gero Rulli's goal.

Gerard Moreno's seventh goal in the Europa League

This is Gerard Moreno's seventh goal in the current edition of the Europa League. Previously, the former Villarreal youth player scored against Dinamo Zagreb (2), Dinamo Kiev (2), and Salzburg.
