Events
Match Events
- 0' And we are off! Deportivo Alaves vs Valencia CF — let the football do the talking.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ferran Torres suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Gabriel Paulista has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 425 appearances.
- 13' Poor challenge from Laguardia. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 14' GOAL! Dani Parejo scores on 14.
- 19' The 35-year-old Denis Cheryshev has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 21' GOAL! Borja Baston fires home to make it 1-1!
- 22' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Daniel Wass.
- 25' The referee calls foul for Ximo. He receives a Yellow card.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Valencia CF needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' Cristiano Piccini is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Valencia CF tonight.
- 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' What composure from Tomas Pina! The Spain international strokes it home. 2-1.
- 46' Mouctar Diakhaby catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 46.
- 47' Tomas Pina doubles the advantage! 3-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 52' It looks surprising Deportivo Alaves does not make any changes. Jonathan Calleri has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 57' A quiet spell here at Estadio de Mendizorroza. Valencia CF seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 62' The Valencia CF manager makes a substitution. Daniel Wass departs to be replaced by Ferran Torres.
- 67' Deportivo Alaves started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
- 69' A change in the Valencia CF ranks — Toni Lato exits the field as Michy Batshuayi enters on 69.
- 73' Deportivo Alaves ring the changes. Borja Baston has done his job and it is now time for Darko Brasanac to step up.
- 78' Manu, a Spain , has 2 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 80' A moment of madness from Ferran Torres on 80 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Valencia CF will be frustrated.
- 82' The referee has no hesitation. Fernando Pacheco is booked for Deportivo Alaves — Yellow card on 82.
- 85' Ruben Sobrino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ibai on 85 minute.
- 90' The whistle greets Jony as he departs to be replaced by John Guidetti.
- The points are shared — Deportivo Alaves 2-1 Valencia CF. Honours even.
