cygan busy ıt proved a busy evening for the visiting goalkeeper, whose first task was to pluck the ball out of the net early on after tomasson turned in nihat kahveci's low cross. villarreal counterpart diego lópez did not enjoy the night off either, and but for his superb save mathias svensson would have restored parity midway through the half following a pascal cygan error. the former arsenal fc man sought to make amends, and after nihat twice went close from distance, the defender forced a fine save out of wiland following a corner.
