Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Valencia CF gets underway.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' It’s high time Albert Celades made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ferran Torres, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de Mestalla with 4 goals in the last 4 games.
- 20' 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 Raphael Varane suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Francis Coquelin has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Valencia CF and Real Madrid CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 35' Real Madrid CF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
- 38' Carlos Soler has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 38.
