	86	After an aerial duel Rukavina stays on the ground as he was hit in the back by Soldado. But off course this brings the guests some time.

	84	Dangerous free kick position for the hosts after a foul by Marc Valiente 20 metres in front of the net.
	83	Nelson Valdéz enters the pitch for Feghouli. A striker for a midfielder – clear sign for the home players!

	46	Start of 2nd half.
		Valencia played football into one direction and they had several big scoring opportunities. Their only goal though came when Balenziage scored into his own net after a corner. Stay tuned for the second half.
		1st halftime finished.
	45	Soldado received a hit by an opponent in the face but no free kick is given.

	31	Canales with a terrible shot from the right half field that ends up outside the pitch for a throw in...
	29	Larsson with a very harmless and slow shot from the border of the Valencia area which he couldn't really controll. Easy save for Guaita.

	26	Twice the Valencia defense clears a high ball inside the area.
	25	Nice one-two combination at the guest area but Soldado can't controll the ball.
	23	Corner by the guests from the right side, easily cleared by the Valencia defense.
	22	Huge double save for Dani Hernández! After a through ball by Parejo for Canales he stayed the winner in a 1-on-1 situation and then he blocked the ball before Soldado could controll it at the border of the 18-yard box!
	21	Cross by Parejo from the right wing, the header by Jonas goes half a metre over the crossbar.
	20	Again Soldado in the spotlight. This time he wasn't able to controll a pass by Canales at the Valladolid six-yard box – goal kick.
	19	Long ball for Soldado who takes it at the border of the 18-yard box. His shot then was not precise enough and went was the right post.
	17	Header by Manucho that hits the legs of Mathieu and goes out from there. The referee though gives a goal kick to Valencia which is the wrong decision.
	16	Great idea by Joanas who attempted a through ball for Soldado but the last defender was in between with an interception.
	15	In an aerial duel in the midfield Soldado received a little push from behind but nothing serious.
	14	Dani Hernández easily catches a cross from the right side of the guest area by Feghouli.
	13	Out of the blue Jonas received the ball in a central position, 25 metres in front of the guest net. His shot towards the left bottom corner was kept outside of the net by guest goalkeeper Dani Hernández who blocked the shot to the side!
	11	Canales with a shot from the right side of the guest area, hits the side netting.
	10	Currently the hosts work a lot with long balls. Not the best idea against the tall guest defenders.
	8	Valencia are trying to take over the initiative but by now the guests play very calm in defense.
	6	Misdirected pass by the guests, no chance for Manucho to get the ball.
	4	Canales with a shot from the right side of the six-yard box after a pass by Fehouli. Cleared by guest goalkeeper Dani Hernández as Canales rather played the ball with the outside of his left foot instead of using the right foot.
	3	Short interrumption as two balls were on the field.
	2	Rami with the clearance in the very last moment when Manucho was almost through for the 1-on-1 with Guaita inside the Valencia area. What a start for the guests from Valladolid.
	1	Game started.
		Starting lineups: Valencia CF: Guaita – J. Pereira, Rami, Mathieu, Guardado – Parejo, T. Costa – Feghouli, Canales, Jonas – Soldado Real Valladolid: D. Hernández – Balenziaga, M. Valiente, Sereno, Rukavina – Á. Rubio, J. Rueda – Omar, Óscar, D. Larsson – Manucho Referees: Hernández Hernández
		Valencia CF are 6th in Primera División with 46 points in 29 games. They are on a Europa League spot and are only two points behind the Champions League qualification. Real Valladolid are 13th with 35 points and should stay out of any relegation trouble with their 11-point advantage towards the relegation zone but the European spots are also too far away for them so that they can enjoy the rest of the season with little pressure. In their last five league matches Valencia only had one win but last week they were able to surprise Atlético Madrid (1-1) on the road. For Valladolid the trend is even far worse with only one win in the last nine games. The head-to-head record between the two clubs is rather balanced. In the first match of the two teams this season Valladolid earned a 1-1 against Valencia at home. If Valencia can get another important win in their race for Europe, we'll see soon!
		Welcome. Game starts at 20:00 GMT / 21:00 CET.
