- 0' The game is set. Valencia CF kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Goncalo Guedes is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Valencia CF so far.
- 10' 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 Alexis Sanchez suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 20' Cristiano Piccini has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 21' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Francis Coquelin.
