  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Valencia
    • Real Murcia
    • 90+2' It's all over. Valencia record a comfortable 3-0 win over Murcia.
    • 90+1' Notario makes a fine flying save from a venomous Baraja free-kick.
    • 85' Goiton flashes a shot across goal. That could have been danegrous if there had been somebody to turn it in, but there was a lack of numbers in attack.
    • 79' Valencia make their final change of the match. Zigic is on for Villa.
    • 76' Valencia are in total control of proceedings here. Murcia still totally incapable of threatening Timo Hildebrand's goal.
    • 72' Silva has done his job this evening. He is replaced by Angel Arizmendi.
    • 67' Ruben Baraja tries his luck from all of 30 yards, but drags his shot well wide .
    • 62' Vicente is on for Morientes for Valencia.
    • 60' De Lucas lashes a deflected shot just past the near post! That drew a few gasps from the home crowd. To be fair, it's just about the first time that Murcia have looked even remotely threatening tonight.
    • 58' Goitom and Ivan Alonso have had absolutely no success in testing the Valencia defence so far. In fact Ivan Alonso is now being replaced by Inigo, while Jofre replaces Mario Regueiro.
    • 51' Villa makes it three with a fine team goal! All one touch stuff. Albelda played a fine ball over the top of the defence for Silva on the right side of the area, he volleyed square into the path of Villa, who volleyed home past the 'keeper at the near post. Valencia are on their way to three points.
    • 50' Angulo dispossesses Regueiro and gets an early cross into the area, but his cross suggests he was on a different wavelength to his strikers.
    • 46' We're underway in the second half.
    • 45' There's half-time. Hardly thrilling stuff, but Valencia are in the driving seat 2-0.
    • 41' Murcia have a free-kick 40 yards from goal. They haven't provided much of a threat from set-pieces so far. That needs to change if they are to get back into this game. De Lucas steps up...but blasts it well over the bar. Poor effort.
    • 36' Pena booked for a foul on Villa, much to his dismay. SIlva whips it in from the right...but it's overhit and goes out at the back post.
    • 32' Decent ball in from the right by De Lucas for Goitom, but again Marchena is there to close out the danger.
    • 26' David Villa makes it 2-0!!! El Guaje strikes! He was played in behind the defence by Angulo, and he directed his strike perfectly between the legs of the onrushing Notario.
    • 22' Silva strides forward down the left for Valencia, but his cross is well overhit.
    • 21' Angulo booked for a cynical trip on Pena. The free-kick is cleared by Valencia but not convincingly, it falls for Mario Regueiro on the left, he tries a first time volley, but gets his angles all wrong.
    • 17' Fine work from Carlos Marchena to clear up after Murcia mounted a counter-attack.
    • 13' Silva launches a high crossfield ball to send Villa clear down the right, but the offside flag is immediately up.
    • 11' Helguera opens the scoring for Valencia!!! Silva whipped a pacy free-kick in from the right, and Helguera stole in ahead of Bruno to head home from six yards out.
    • 6' Cesar Arzo leaves it inexplicably...it falls for Morientes in the area, he looks for support but there's nobody there, he shoots himself from a tight angle...but Notario pulls off a fine save.
    • 3' Fine ball into the box from Moretti on the left, it's hacked behind uneasily by a defender.
    • 1' We're underway at the Mestalla.
    • 21:00 Welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's live text commentary of Valencia v Real Murcia.
