    • Valencia
    • FT AND IT IS!!!! Racing have won and deservedly so - pathetic performance from Valencia to be honest.
    • 90+3 A header from Morientes loops into the hands of Tono - that should be that!
    • 90' Three added minutes but it could be 30 the way Valencia have been playing.
    • 88' Racing still look the more dangerous side - Canizares uses his feet to kick away a Smolarek chance.
    • 85' Old man Munitis comes off after a good shift with Jordi Lopez coming on.
    • 82' Canerira of all people cuts in from the right for Valencia and gets a shot on target but Tono saves without much problem.
    • 78' Valencia have a shot on target!!!! Who would have thought it? It was Edu with a low drive from distance, but Coltori was there to save. He spilled the ball, but Oriol was there to clear any danger.
    • 75' Here comes Morientes - he comes on for Angulo.
    • 73' Valencia are going backwards in this game - Raul Albiol has just gone into the book.
    • 70' WE HAVE A GOAL - a howler from Canizares - a well hit half-volley from Jorge Lopez but it was straight at the Valencia keeper - he fluffed at it though - and let it in.
    • 68' And here is Joaquin, he comes on for Fernandes.
    • 67' AN ATTEMPT ON GOAL - Munitis cuts a nice cross onto the head of Colsa but it is straight at Canizares.
    • 65' Joaquin is on the bench for Valencia - surely it can't be too long until we see him? Valencia have still just had one shot on goal.
    • 63' Another change for Racing - Polish striker Smolarek comes on for Serrano - can he produce the spark this match is crying out for?
    • 56' Edu comes on for his first appearance in 13 months - great to see the former Arsenal man back - Vicente goes off.
    • 55' Jordi Lopez tries a long range effort that flies over...Racing the better of two poor sides at the moment.
    • 48' Back underway - Tchite has just drove a low drive wide where he should have done better - the linesman's flag was up but replays suggest he was onside.
    • HT And there is the half-time whistle - one of the worst halves of football you will ever see. Shocking stuff.
    • 45' Serrano goes in the book for a foul on Angulo.
    • 41' Valencia have had 63% of the possession but have had just ONE attempt on goal - and that was that rather pathetic effort from David Silva in the 14th minute.
    • 34' Valencia work a nice quick free down the left but the final ball from Silva is poor.
    • 30' Racing have a chance to do something with a free-kick around 35 yards out - they decide to chip it into the box - Valencia look a bit shaky at the back but a Racing player is fouling and it is a free out. Poor, poor game at the moment.
    • 23' A pattern is emerging - Valencia are dominating in terms of possession while Racing are then trying to hit them on the break, but in truth it is the hosts that look more likely to score.
    • 14' Valencia get their first shot on goal but it is poor one - David Silva from distance but he drags it well wide.
    • 10' First real chance of the match and it falls to Racing - Tchite found himself free in the box but his shot was too straight and Canizares was able to tip over the bar.
    • 5' Valencia dominating possession in the opening stages of the game but everything in the middle third so far.
    • 3' With Real Madrid and Villarreal having both dropped points this weekend, this is a great chance for Valencia to get right back into the mix. A win will see them just two points off the lead. No chances as of yet.
    • 1' Welcome to live coverage of this match between Racing and Valencia. We have just kicked off.
