Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: FC Barcelona gets underway.
  • 5' A quiet spell here at Estadio Mestalla. Valencia CF seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' The 27-year-old Thierry Correia has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 18' The Valencia CF manager makes a substitution. Edinson Cavani departs to be replaced by Maranhao.
  • 21' It’s a booking for FC Barcelona player. Eric Garcia gets a Yellow card.
  • 26' Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 513 appearances.
  • 31' FC Barcelona started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 31.
  • 36' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gabriel Paulista made 422 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 42' Time for substitution for FC Barcelona. Eric Garcia is replaced by Marcos Alonso.
  • 45' FC Barcelona receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 50' GOAL! Samuel fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 56' The FC Barcelona bench stirs into life. Ousmane Dembele is withdrawn and Ferran Torres gets his opportunity.
  • 57' A change in the FC Barcelona ranks — Ansu Fati exits the field as Raphinha enters on 57.
  • 62' 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.
  • 67' That is a Yellow card for Valencia CF. Samuel will be fuming at that decision.
  • 72' Samu Castillejo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Justin Kluivert on 72 minute.
  • 73' The crowd applauds Justin Kluivert as he leaves the pitch. Samu Castillejo steps in for Valencia CF.
  • 74' A tactical swap from FC Barcelona — Pique on, Jules Kounde off on 74 minutes.
  • 79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Valencia CF that had 422 games and scored 398 goals.
  • 80' The whistle greets Thierry Correia as he departs to be replaced by Jesus Vazquez Alcalde.
  • 84' Poor challenge from Hugo Guillamon. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 89' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Pablo Gavira on 89 minutes.
  • 90' That is a Yellow card for FC Barcelona. Pique will be fuming at that decision.
  • Valencia CF will have plenty to reflect on. FC Barcelona were simply the better side today.
