Santi Cazorla gives happiness. He gives it with his innate and contagious smile, with that persistent insistence on overcoming an injury that indicated the path to withdrawal and gives it especially for his delicious and eternal football that, who knows, could lead him to the European Championship 12 years after the one that won in 2008. Until then, it is the Villarreal who enjoys the new splendor at 35 of the Asturian midfielder, the last exponent of a race to which only he moves away from the past.

With less significance but greater immediate impact, this Sunday Cazorla was responsible in first person to rescue three points for Villarreal in a place as complicated as the Reale Arena. He needed the help of the VAR to give a validity letter to his goal, a precise definition with hardly any angle that punished the conformism of a Real Society always bright with the tailwind but with recurrent defensive problems when painting coarse.

In that context, the San Sebastian team went ahead at 20 minutes thanks to a goal by Willian José . The Brazilian culminated a pass from the death of Portu after a precise opening to Odegaard's band. The Real deserved to go to rest ahead on the scoreboard, as it was the team that dominated the ball and set the tone during the initial 45 minutes.

That changed after the break, when Calleja modified his drawing to bet on the rhombus that he gave so many revenues in his first stage on the bench of Villarreal. He regained his presence and achieved the draw after a penalty from Zubeldia on Chukwueze that Trigueros was responsible for transforming.

That was when Calleja understood that he should go for more and that is why he introduced Cazorla on the pitch, strengthening the good dynamics of his team. 12 minutes later, Villarreal finished his comeback thanks to the Spaniard's goal, after a pass from Mario that left him alone on the second post. Its quality took care of the rest.
