It was a day to forget for Gerard Moreno and Villarreal, as they were beaten at the Estadio de la Ceramica by Valladolid.
The hosts had started the brighter of the two teams, and it was Moreno who came closest in the first half, his shot crashing against the upright.
Against the run of play, Leo Suarez‘s crisp finish across Asenjo put the visitors 1-0 up on 53, but with more than half an hour left to play, it seemed a matter of time before the equaliser arrived.
When Villarreal were awarded a penalty on 82, it was the perfect opportunity for them to have at least a share of the spoils, but Moreno missed from 12 yards.
