Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Valencia CF vs Granada CF — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 12' A meaty challenge results in booking for Gerard Gumbau on 12.
  • 17' Supporters expect more eagerness from Giorgi Mamardashvili, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de Mestalla with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 22' The home supporters are growing impatient. Valencia CF must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 24' Sergi Canos is ready to make an impact after coming on for Selim Amallah at the 24 minute mark.
  • 29' Javier Guerra has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
  • 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Granada CF that had 262 games and scored 307 goals.
  • 40' Ricard Sanchez was booked on 40.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Raul Torrente.
  • 50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 51' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Javier Guerra.
  • 52' Against the run of play, Pepelu has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 57' Valencia CF is showing some good football. However, Valencia CF are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 58' A moment of madness from Gabriel Paulista on 58 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Valencia CF will be frustrated.
  • 63' Granada 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.
  • 68' Ignasi Miquel has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 72' Fresh legs for Valencia CF! Dimitri Foulquier comes on to replace Sergi Canos.
  • 73' Hugo Guillamon is replacing Hugo Duro for the Valencia CF side.
  • 74' Another substitution for Granada CF to replace Gerard Gumbau by Sergio Ruiz on 74 minute.
  • 78' The referee calls foul for Gonzalo Villar. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 82' Jose Callejon is ready to make an impact after coming on for Myrto Uzuni at the 82 minute mark.
  • 83' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Dimitri Foulquier.
  • 88' 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 Gonzalo Villar suffering a number of foals already.
  • 89' A change in the Valencia CF ranks — Cristhian Mosquera exits the field as Yarek Gasiorowski enters on 89.
  • 90' Bryan Zaragoza catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Valencia CF take all three points.
