Pepe Reina's Villarreal started the second day of the Youth League strongly and beat Napoli 5-0, with a dominance that consolidated the team's position at the top of the table. Striker Raúl García was the undisputed protagonist, scoring four of the five goals and making it clear that the Spanish team will show no mercy against their Italian opponents.
From the opening whistle, Villarreal showed a frenetic pace. At five minutes, Mauro Roca opened the scoring after an assist from Saúl Rodríguez, and at 15 minutes, Raúl García himself took advantage of a pass from Sergio Barrera to beat goalkeeper Spinelli and score 2‑0. Although Napoli tried to react after half an hour, Villarreal maintained the pressure and, in the final stretch of the first half, managed to extend the lead to 3‑0, although the opportunities of Roca, Rodríguez and Eduardo González were frustrated by the defense and the visiting goal. In added time, Napoli lost Andrea Zappala after a harsh challenge on González, and half-time came with Villarreal at 3‑0.
The only negative point for the Spanish team was the injury of Moussa Kone, who had to leave the field in the 36th minute and was replaced by Serigne N'Diaye. With one player less, Villarreal attacked again with intensity in the second half and, in the 60th minute, Raúl García scored his third goal after Eduardo González deflected a ball off the post. Ten minutes later, at 70 minutes, the striker scored again, completing an impressive monologue of four goals in the match.
Napoli tried to reduce the gap in the final minutes, but Villarreal did not give ground. An attempt by Yurii Kisak, who hit the post, was stopped by Spinelli, preventing a fifth goal that finally arrived in the 87th minute, also thanks to the dominant performance of Raúl García. The final result, 5‑0, reinforces Villarreal's position in the standings and demonstrates its ability to dominate high-level matches in the Youth League.
