  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Sevilla
    • Valencia
    • 90+3 And that's that. A deserved victory for Sevilla, who prove there is life after Ramos. Valencia, on the other hand, were well below-par.
    • 89 Substitution for Sevilla. Luis Fabiano OFF, Kone ON
    • 86 GREAT GOAL! LUIS FABIANO. The Brazilian gets on the end of a superb one-two inside the box and blazes the ball past Hildebrand.
    • 84 Yellow card for Vicente following a rash challenge on Daniel Alves. He gets into a bit of forehead-on-forehead action with Alves afterwards, which just looks silly.
    • 80 Substitution for Sevilla. Kanoute OFF, Renato ON
    • 79 It's a yellow card for Morientes after a late tackle on Seydou Keita.
    • 78 Super chance for 3-0. Kanoute gets his head on the end of a great cross from the left (yet again), but his downward header is easily held by Hildebrand.
    • 76 Gaps in the Valencia defence are being exploited now. Fabiano makes some space on the left of the area, but his cross-cum-shot is an easy catch for Hildebrand.
    • 74 SEVILLA GOAL! POULSEN! The Dane delivers a clinical finish from the left of the area, just outside the six-yard box. Again, suspect defending from Valencia but a really solid shot from Poulsen into the bottom right of the net. No question of offside this time. 2-0.
    • 73 Superb tackle from Daniel Alves, who plays the ball out from the halfway line towards the Valencia box. He passes to his left where Freddy Kanoute picks up the ball and dribbles toward goal, only to slip up and waste a good chance.
    • 70 Young sub Diego Capel has a good chance to make it 2 on the left of the penalty area. His powerful shot skims just wide.
    • 68 Valencia just can't create a dangerous attack. They're easily snuffed out by Sevilla's back line.
    • 66 Valencia are defending more solidly now, getting bodies in the way of crosses and shots. That said, Kanoute towers above them all to get a free header which goes just wide of Hildebrand's goal.
    • 63 Alexis is straight into the action with a powerful header from the middle of the area. It's wide but a solid first touch for the sub.
    • 62 Third and final substitution for Valencia. Marchena OFF and Alexis ON.
    • 61 Adriano gets a hearty ovation from the home supporters, and rightly so - he's had a good night down the left wing.
    • 61 Substitution for Valencia. Adriano OFF and Diego Capel ON
    • 59 Poor tackle by Marchena who manages to bring down Luis Fabiano whilst lying on the ground. He hooks his leg up and brings the Brazilian tumbling down to the left of the penalty area. The resulting free-kick is useless.
    • 54 Nice work from Navas down the right flank. He gets a cross in but it's easily cleared. Sevilla still look the more dangerous of the two sides going forward; Vicente and Morientes are yet to impress tonight.
    • 53 Yellow card for Joaquin for a raised foot. Seems a tad harsh.
    • 50 Vicente breaks with speed from the Valencia penalty box, but by the time he reaches Sevilla's area, he has no players up in support.
    • 48 Fancy build-up play again from the home side, who look so much more comfortable and confident than Valencia.
    • 46 We're away and there are 2 Valencia substitutions to report. Zigic and Arizmendi OFF, Morientes and Vicente ON.
    • 45+3 HT at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuan stadium. A scrappy first half, but Sevilla are in control and deserve their lead.
    • 45+2 DISALLOWED GOAL. Navas heads brilliantly from the centre of the box, but keeper Hildebrand palms the ball towards Poulsen. The Dane heads into the back of the net, but the assistant ref flags for offside. It looks like it may have been on, but Poulson doesn't complain.
    • 45 Another dreadful challenge. This game is turning nasty. Navas is clattered down by Moretti just outside the penalty box, on the right. That's the 12th Valencia foul of the half.
    • 43 Tempers are flaring. This time it's a yellow card for goalkeeper Palop for complaining. The keeper got angry following a bizarre attack by Albelda on Adriano. The Brazilian was on the ground and Albelda lifted his leg before hurling him back down. Very Steven Seagal.
    • 42 Shoddy challenge by Caneira on Adriano, although the Spaniard is protesting that he got the ball. Caneira ought to be careful - he's already on a yellow. The game is held up again as Adriano receives treatment.
    • 40 Good opportunity for Valencia with a free-kick on the right but Joaquin's effort is caught by a confident Andres Palop. The Sevilla keeper then produces a comedy moment as he slips and falls.
    • 36 Sevilla are dominating the game, keeping control of the ball, and looking calm despite the tempestuous week they've had. Valencia need to produce something because, with Morientes and Silva on the bench, they're short on ideas.
    • 34 Navas whips in a low and fast cross from the right which is cleared by Albiol. Sevilla are pressing...
    • 32 The resulting free-kick is good from Alves, but Poulsen's strong header inside the box goes wide.
    • 31 First card of the evening is a YELLOW for Caneira following a late, late challenge on Adriano. The Brazilian is causing problems down the left.
    • 30 Great build-up play again from Sevilla as they sweep forward from midfield into the final third. But they can't quite get that decent shot on target.
    • 28 Adriano tries a belter with his unfavoured right foot, but it thwacks against Albiol's head. The Valencia defender is left grounded. He's soon up on his feet again though. Lucky he got in the way - it was a fierce effort by the Brazilian.
    • 26 Adriano is looking lively down the left for Sevilla, but still no killer passes or real tests for either keeper since the goal went in.
    • 23 Good build-up play from Sevilla, but the final shot just outside the box is poor. Navas' effort careers wide.
    • 22 Angulo's having some joy down the left flank versus Daniel Alves. Can he make it matter?
    • 21 Better from the visitors. Angulo weaves his way down the left with some great touches, but his cross doesn't come to anything as Joaquin is bundled off the ball.
    • 19 Oh dear oh dear. Valencia are at sixes and sevens, with useless corners and long-range shots flying into the back of the stands.
    • 16 Not much quality on show so far. Valencia look half-asleep and Sevilla are playing it very cool. The game needs an injection of pace.
    • 12 The subdued feel of the evening hasn't changed despite the goal. There are lots of scrappy, stray passes and late challenges breaking up the game's pace.
    • 10 GOAL! FREDDY KANOUTE! Sloppy defending from Valencia, it has to be said, but the excellent Kanoute turns beautifully and fires past Hildebrand from just outside the 6-yard box. The cross in was by Luis Fabiano on the right.
    • 6 The free-kick is easily cleared by Valencia, who are decked in a garish orange shirt-blue short mix.
    • 5 Silky footwork from Adriano down the left. He's brought down with an illegal challenge by Valencia's Caneira. Free-kick Sevilla.
    • 4 The first chance of the evening is a header from Kanoute just inside the penalty area. His effort is powerful but high over the bar.
    • 1 Daniel Alves is clattered to the ground after a clumsy challenge by Zigic. Less than twenty seconds in and the game has stopped.
    • 1 And we're off. Jimenez is the new gaffer for Sevilla, having earned the promotion in midweek following Ramos' decision to join Daniel Levy's barmy army.
    • 19:59 We're seconds away from Sevilla's first game without Juande Ramos at the helm, and Valencia's first since their defeat to Rosenborg in the Champions League.
