Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Valencia CF kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Deportivo Alaves needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 7' Magnificent from Carlos Martin! That is 17 goals in 523 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 12' A quiet spell here at Estadio de Mestalla. Valencia CF seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 17' The supporters are chanting for Stoichkov. He replaces Jon Guridi on 17 minute.
- 22' Carlos Martin has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 22.
- 27' It looks surprising Valencia CF does not make any changes. Javier Guerra has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 32' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 5-4-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 37' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 42' 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 Sivera suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' Sergi Canos has so much to prove this time. He replaces Fran Perez on 44 minute.
- 49' Over 49 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 54' Deportivo Alaves ring the changes. Sivera has done his job and it is now time for Jesus Owono to step up.
- 59' Valencia CF seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 64' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Deportivo Alaves that had 267 games and scored 237 goals.
- 69' Kike Garcia has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 70' What a moment for Luis Rioja! That strike on 70 puts his side firmly in control.
- 75' The home supporters are growing impatient. Valencia CF must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 78' Pepelu is ready to make an impact after coming on for Enzo Barrenechea at the 78 minute mark.
- 80' Deportivo Alaves make a change. Adrian Pica trudges off to be replaced by Aleksandar Sedlar on 80 minutes.
- 81' A change in the Deportivo Alaves ranks — Carlos Martin exits the field as Tomas Conechny enters on 81.
- 86' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Cristhian Mosquera.
- 88' The deadlock is broken! Joan Jordan gets on the scoresheet on 88 minutes.
