Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Valencia CF and Elche CF get this one started.
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Valencia CF and Elche CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 15' 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 Edinson Cavani suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' It looks surprising Elche CF does not make any changes. Omar Mascarell has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 26' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Giorgi Mamardashvili.
  • 29' Time for substitution for Elche CF. Pedro Bigas is replaced by Diego Gonzalez.
  • 29' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Pere Milla makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 34' Both keepers have barely been tested. Valencia CF and Elche CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 36' Elche CF player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 37' Controversy at the stadium! Eray Comert argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 39' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Josan Fernandez.
  • 40' A moment of madness from Josan Fernandez on 40 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Elche CF will be frustrated.
  • 41' Edinson Cavani makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Valencia CF are in front.
  • 46' Hugo Duro gets the nod from Valencia CF. He replaces Edinson Cavani and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' The 24-year-old Nico Gonzalez has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 52' Magnificent from Edinson Cavani! That is 70 goals in 520 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 57' Raul Guti has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 62' 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.
  • 65' Pere Milla with the second goal in the match!
  • 67' Gonzalo Verdu is replacing Enzo Roco for the Elche CF side.
  • 69' Elche CF player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 72' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Yunus Musah.
  • 75' The Valencia CF bench stirs into life. Yunus Musah is withdrawn and Ilaix Moriba gets his opportunity.
  • 78' Pere Milla is having his name booked by the referee on 78.
  • 79' The supporters are chanting for Quina. He replaces Pere Milla on 79 minute.
  • 80' The crowd applauds Andre Almeida as he leaves the pitch. Toni Lato steps in for Valencia CF.
  • 85' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 85 minutes.
  • 87' Another substitution for Valencia CF to replace Justin Kluivert by Fran Perez on 87 minute.
  • 88' Edgar Badia picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 90' Tete Morente has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • The points are shared — Valencia CF 2-2 Elche CF. Honours even.
