Villarreal coach Unai Emery admits defeat to Valencia was a setback.
Hugo Guillamon and Carlos Soler from the penalty spot were the VCF goalscorers.
Emery said, "I take two evaluations from the game: the one from how the game went and the other from the result. It's a bad result. We knew we were coming to a difficult ground to play at.
"Such a start-stop game isn't what we wanted, but we had to adapt to it. They didn't get the transitions they wanted, but in the second actions, they got corners. The game was dense, and the error we made for the first goal cost us. It justified the game they had set up for mentally.
"The game went on, with nothing happening. We had to score against to get back in the match, but then they got a penalty. At 2-0 it was much more difficult."
