    Thank you for following the match with us! We have two more Primera División games covered for you tonight! Stay tuned! (18:53:32)
     
    Both teams found no way to surprise their opponents in the second half so that the game ended with the only logical result, a 0-0 draw that positions both sides away from good and evil in the league table. Valladolid (34 points) stay ahead of Espanyol (32 points).
     
    Game over.
     
    90+2
    Víctor Sánchez cleared the ball in the very last moment when Óscar would have been through alone in the 1-on-1 with Casilla inside the Espanyol area!
     
    90
    Only two minutes are added to this match. Not very much for a Spanish football game. The referees there usually give a lot of additional time but nothing big happend here in the second half.
     
    89
    Capdevila intercepted a ball just in front of the own area but when he could have initiated a fast counter attack he played a misdirected pass that gave the ball back to Valladolid in the midfield.
     
    88
    Wakaso with a shot from about 20 metres, goes over the crossbar.
     
    86
    Dani Hernández leaves his net and cleares against Wakaso with both fists at the border of the 18-yard box!
     
    85
    The free kick went straight into the wall...
     
    85
    Little push from behind against Sergio García by Rueda. Gives Espanyol an excellent free kick position at the right wing.
     
    83
    On the other side of the pitch Simao found Javi López at the right side of the guest area but López' cross was blocked by a defender.
     
    82
    Rubio with a long cross towards the second post where Rukavina wasn't able to reach it.
     
    80
    Javi Guerra enters the match for Manucho who worked a lot as only real striker for the guests but stayed unlucky.
     
    79
    The guests are preparing their second change.
     
    77
    Great idea by Wakaso who looked for Sergio García with a long through ball but in the end it was too long for his team colleague.
     
    76
    Again Cristian Gómez with a try for Espanyol. His shot from the distance went several metres past the right post.
     
    74
    Cristian Gómez with a shot that was deflected for a corner which then stayed harmless.
     
    72
    Free kick by Óscar, not precise enough so that Manucho couldn't reach it.
     
    70
    20 minutes plus additional time are left in this match. Maybe a lucky punch can give one of the teams the win.
     
    69
    The following corner was directed towards the far post from where Capdevila's header went wide.
