- 82'
Neville has been impressive on his Everton debut tonight; he has been a real leader, driving and urging his new team-mates forward.
- 81'
The Everton chairman Bill Kenright looks aggitated in the Goodison executive box; he knows how much money is at stake tonight.
- 80'
Bent almost gets on the end of Cahill's pass, but the Australian's ball is slightly over-hit and Barbosa collects.

- 78'
Arteta is penalised for a late challenge on Senna on the edge of the Villarreal penalty area.
- 76'
Cahill requires some treatment for a cut to the head following an aerial challenge with the Villarreal goalkeeper. He seems fine, and is soon back in the thick of the action.
- 75'
Arteta whips another dangerous set-piece in to a crowded penalty area. Barbosa comes through a crowd of players to punch clear, but he takes a thunderous blow from one of his own players as he does so.
- 74'
This has been a classic European performance by Villarreal; they were outplayed early on, but stayed composed and patient and hit the home side twice with stunning counter-attacks. Everton, understandably, have been a little niave.
- 73'
Pistone's loose pass runs out of play and gives Villarreal the chance to take a breather and reorganise.
- 72'
Since Ferguson came on, Everton haven't really had the chance to send over any dangerous crosses, which is what they would have wanted.
- 71'
Davies does well to steal the ball from a Villarreal midfielder and go on a strong run at the heart of the Spanish defence. His through-ball towards Bent is a little strong, though, and Javi Venta clears.
- 71'
Oooh! Forlan picks up the ball on the edge of the area. He has a little space and time, and fires a left-foot shot only inches over Martyn's bar.
- 70'
...the ball bobbles around for a moment or two, before Josico puts his boot through it and clears the danger.
- 69'
Everton win a free-kick, just inside the Villarreal half, and predictably knock it long in to their opponent's area...
- 68'
Everton desperately need an equaliser before this game ends, because Villarreal are fearsome at home; they very, very rarely lose.
- 67'
Riqueleme is starting to come in to his own as Everton chase the game and Villarreal look to frustrate them by keeping possession; the Argentine play-maker rarely gives the ball away and always seems available.
- 67'
Another neat Villarreal move almost opens up the Everton defence, but Sorin is caught off-side as he chases down Forlan's through-ball.
- 66'
Oooh! Pistone wins a header in the penalty area, but Bent can't quite get the ball under control before Barbosa comes flying out of his goal to smother the danger.
- 65'
SUB: Figueroa off, Tacchinardi on. Veteran former Juventus midfielder Tacchinardi comes on to give the visitors a bit more protection in front of their defence.
- 64'
Villarreal won't have come up against too many opponents of the size and stature of Ferguson; 6ft 4in, strong and physical, he will cause them some problems as the game goes on.
- 63'
Ferguson causes some early problems as he wins a header from a throw. I suspect there will be a few deep crosses in this final half-hour.
- 62'
SUB: Kilbane, Beattie off; Ferguson and Bent on. Moyes opts to go for an attacking substitution as he looks to grab an equaliser.
- 61'
Cahill nods a header towards Beattie, six yards out, but the big striker can't keep his feet at the vital moment. Encouraging signs for the home side, however.
- 60'
Everton win a free-kick inside the Villarreal half. Arteta puts over a great cross, the half-clearance falls to Neville, but his fierce shot is blocked.
- 59'
Too often tonight, the Everton defenders have opted to hit long, direct passes to Beattie, who is on his own up front. They need to get further in to the Villarreal half before going aerial.
- 58'
Villarreal are known as one of the best passing sides in Spanish football, and they are doing a great job of keeping possession.
- 57'
There are some signs of movement on the Everton bench, with Bent and Ferguson looking ready and primed.
- 56'
The Everton crowd are doing their best to get behind their team on their re-introduction to European football; no real signs of frustration yet.
- 55'
I wonder how long it will be before Everton introduce the 'unique' talents of Duncan Ferguson?
- 54'
David Moyes is quite animated in the Everton 'technical area'; he has already indicated to the referee that he is concerned about Villarreal time-wasting.
- 53'
Senna fouls Arteta out on the Everton left. The young Spaniard curls the free-kick in to the box, but a Villarreal head clears the danger.
- 52'
Villarreal are doing very well to withstand this Everton assault; they can't be used to this physical, aerial approach, but have held their nerve well, so far.
- 51'
Sorin goes down in the penalty area after he collects Riqueleme's low pass towards the centre-spot. There are a few half-hearted appeals for a penalty, but the referee is having nothing of it.
- 50'
Cahill wins a header in the Villarreal penalty area, but nobody can latch on to the loose ball. Everton are throwing everything at their visitors early in this second half.
- 49'
Neville hoists a long, deep ball in to the box, Kilbane wins a good header at the far post, but Beattie just fails to get on the knock-down.
- 48'
Again, the set-piece goes long towards Weir, who wins the header at the back post. The ball is put behind for a third successive corner, but this time the visitors clear.

- 46'
Neville swings over a couple of early crosses in to a packed Villarreal penalty box, and wins a corner for his side.
- 45'
The second half kicks off. Everton were out after half-time very early; a sign of their intent to finish this game strongly?
- 45'
HALF-TIME: A tough time for Everton to concede, and Villarreal go in a goal to the good. The English side have played with real passion, but the visitors have retained the ball much better.
- 45'
GOAL! Josico plants an unstoppable header past Martyn after Sorin had fired in a great cross from the right-hand side.
- 45'
Villarreal strong together a few passes in a dangerous and swift counter-attack, but the Everton defence hold firm and keep their shape well.
- 44'
Kilbane almost releases Pistone down the left, but he is fouled as he tries to spin and fire a pass in to the path of the rampaging Italian left-back.
- 43'
Neville and Riqueleme clash after Sorin fouls Arteta, but it's nothing serious.
- 42'
It was a scrappy goal, but Beattie won't mind that; it was his first Everton goal in over six months.
- 41'
Everton probably deserve that goal; they have played with good spirit tonight. The players celebated the goal ferociously, and the fans have responded in kind.
- 40'
GOAL! Neville swings over a good, deep cross, and Beattie latches on to the loose ball to prod past Barbosa.
- 39'
Forlan has been one of the more impressive players so far tonight; not only is he leading the line up-front, he is also dropping deep to collect the ball.
- 38'
Hibbert is booked for a strong challenge on Arruabarrena; the Everton defender left his foot in quite high on the Villarreal midfielder, and the yellow card was well deserved.
- 37'
Everton have lost a little of their composure in the middle of the field; they are struggling to keep hold of the ball and launch a decent attack.
- 36'
Forlan's cross towards Sorin at the back post is headed out for a corner by Hibbert. The corner is flicked-on at the near post, but Everton defend the loose ball well.

- 34'
Oooh! Cahill leaps high at the back post, but heads Pistone's cross over the bar from a tight angle.

Senna ends a nice, crisp move from the Spanish side when he fires a low, left-foot shot narrowly wide of the post from 25 yards out.
- 31'
Figueroa is booked for diving when he throws himself over Martyn's challenge inside the penalty area. The Everton goalkeeper was furious with the Villarreal striker.
- 30'
The free-kick is swung in towards the back post, but it's much too deep and flies out for a goalkick.
- 30'
Kilbane and Pistone combine again down the left-hand flank, and win a free-kick out on the touchline.
- 29'
Villarreal, now they have the lead, are doing a good job of keeping hold of the ball and frustrating the home side.
- 28'
The Everton fans are showing a few signs of discontent after watching their side get on top in the early stages.
- 27'
It was a superb finish by the former Birmingham City striker; struck hard and low past Martyn, who will perhaps be a little annoyed to get beaten from that tight angle.
- 26'
GOAL! Figueroa fires a superb shot across Martyn and in to the far corner after making a good run in behind the Everton defence.
- 25'
Forlan is booked for a late challenge on his former Manchester United player Neville.
- 24'
Neville lofts a good ball in to the area, Beattie nods the ball back across the face of goal, but it's behind Cahill and Davies, who were up in support.
- 23'
The pace of the game has slowed a little, which is understandable, though Everton will be keen to keep the tempo at a level they are more used to.
- 22'
With Villarreal being so strong at home, Everton will be desperate to emerge victorious from this first leg.
- 21'
Everton's gameplan certainly seems to involve a physically-intimidating side; they have been putting themselves about in this opening twenty minutes.
- 20'
After a short stoppage to treat the two players, the game goes on. Davies fires in a low cross, which is hastily cleared by a worried Villarreal defence.
- 19'
Great bravery from Cahill as he chases down a high Beattie flick on and collides with the Villarreal goalkeeper. Both players require a breather after a huge clash, just inside the penalty area.

Arteta fires the corner in to the middle, and Barbosa wins a free-kick when he is fouled as he comes through a crowd of players to punch clear.
- 17'
Beattie wins a free-kick, 30 yards out, just left-of-centre. Arteta plays the ball short to Pistone, who wins a corner off the defender.
- 16'
This time Senna takes the chance to get a strike on goal; again, it sails high over the crossbar. He looks rightly sheepish.
- 15'
Forlan takes the opportunity to have his first strike on goal; he's a long way out and strikes his right-foot shot a few yards over Martyn's crossbar. Cue chants of: "Who are ya? Who are ya?" from the Everton crowd.
- 14'
Neville is penalised for a high foot. He's had a good start to the game, playing in a holding, central-midfield role.
- 13'
It has been a good start from both sides, but particularly Everton, on what is a massive night for them; the English side are playing a very high tempo at the moment.
- 12'
A slight mix-up between Figueroa and Forlan halts a promising attack. Though the two Villarreal strikers flopped during their time in England, they were superb for their side last season.
- 11'

- 10'
Although Everton are only playing with one up front, Beattie is getting good support; on the flanks through Kilbane and Davies, and through the middle with Cahill.

- 7'
Riqueleme swings over another free-kick, this time deep in to the Everton area...
- 6'
Davies sends over a cross from the right and Everton win a corner when it is hoofed clear. More desperation in the Spanish defence as the corner comes in, but the ball is eventually cleared.
- 5'
Oooh! Pistone combines well with Kilbane down the left. The Italian defender fires over a great cross, but it arrives a little too quickly for Beattie, who can only prod straight to the goalkeeper.
- 4'
Arteta demonstrates admireable resolve and determination to hunt down Arruabarrena in the Villarreal defence. Everton have started at a good tempo.
- 3'
David Moyes looks very determined on the Everton bench. His opposite number, Pellegrini, looks like a caberet singer.
- 2'
Riqueleme wins a free-kick after he is bundled over by Cahill and Arteta. It comes to nothing, after a poor pass by Riquelme.
- 1'
There have been some strong early challenges from both sides; this game means so much to them both. Not least because it's worth around £15million to the winner...
Villarreal kick off. Diego Forlan wins an early throw for his side with a determined run down the right channel.
The referee is from Norway, and looks like a fat Pierluigi Collina.
