Events

Match Events

  • 28' The Uruguay Maxi Gomez breaks the deadlock on 28 minutes. 1-0!
  • 33' With 0 assists to his name this season, Carlos Soler is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Valencia CF.

  • 52' The crowd applauds Augusto Solari as he leaves the pitch. Gabriel Veiga steps in for RC Celta de Vigo.
