Villarreal will be in tomorrow’s league stage draw though after they cruised through against Kazakhstan’s Astana. Already 0-3 up from a week ago, Marcelino used the occasion to give a run out to some of his lesser used players. Gerard Moreno went close twice early on, and midway through the first half Vietto opened his account for his new side after good work by Espinosa and Moi Gómez. Vietto missed a sitter before the break, but a few minutes after the restart he scored his second of the night after connecting with a Jaume Costa cross. Bruno made it three from the penalty spot after Dmitrenko brought down Gabriel following a corner, and soon afterwards Vietto set up young substitute Nahuel for the fourth.
