The Galicians dominated before half-time against an Alaves team that rarely ventured out of their own half, but chances were rare. Heavy rain opened up the match a little in the second half, but Alaves stood firm and preserved the clean sheet.
The hosts started with John Guidetti and Giuseppe Rossi on the bench, giving them plenty of extra weapons to bring on late in the match if needed. Ibai Gomez started for Alaves.
As expected, Vigo started with plenty of possession and attacking intentions, and Daniel Wass claimed an early free-kick on a foul from Theo Hernandez.
