Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Valencia CF and Girona FC.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rodrigo made 422 appearances and scored 50 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 15' Geoffrey Kondogbia has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 422 appearances.
- 20' The 35-year-old Carles Planas has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 25' Valencia CF currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 28' Jose Gaya is having his name booked by the referee on 28.
- 30' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Seydou Doumbia.
- 35' Valencia CF are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Girona FC's shape.
- 36' Francis Coquelin is having his name booked by the referee on 36.
- 39' That is a Yellow card for Girona FC. Muniesa will be fuming at that decision.
- 40' It’s a booking for Girona FC player. Carles Planas gets a Yellow card.
- 45' Girona FC is showing some good football. However, Girona FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 48' Girona FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Pere Pons on 48.
- 53' Valencia CF are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.

- 59' Yassine Bounou is having his name booked by the referee on 59.
- 60' Girona FC make a change. Seydou Doumbia trudges off to be replaced by Pedro Alcala on 60 minutes.
- 65' With 0 assists to his name this season, Seydou Doumbia is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Valencia CF.
- 70' 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 Gaya suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' It is a substitution in Valencia CF team. Carlos Soler is replaced by Michy Batshuayi on 73 minute.
- 77' Gabriel Paulista has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 77.
- 78' Fresh legs for Girona FC! Alex Granell comes on to replace Patrick Roberts.
- 79' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Geoffrey Kondogbia on 79 minutes.
- 84' Valencia CF ring the changes. Francis Coquelin has done his job and it is now time for Kevin Gameiro to step up.

- 90' Neto is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Girona FC tonight.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Valencia CF.
