    Time:90'
    • Valencia
    • Valladolid
    • 90+4 And that is the end, Valencia win, rather fortunate.
    • 90+3 Injury to Sunny holds things up for a bit...
    • 90+1 Villa with a run in from the left, he has a crack but parried by Butelle
    • 90' Four minutes of injury time being played.
    • 89' David Silva from some way out, he has a crack AND IT TAKES A MASSIVE DEFLECTION AND LEAVES BUTELLE FLAT-FOOTED! 2-1 VALENCIA! Right at the death and they have not deserved it. Lucky, lucky Valencia.
    • 84' Llorente is through on the left but Canizares has rushed out to force him wide and it's out for a corner.
    • 80' Llorente is played through with Albiol all over the place but he drags the shot wide! Should have at least got it on target.
    • 72' Villa is played through but the flag is up for offside as he rounds Butelle, who takes him down. Correct decision.
    • 69' Sisi on the right, superb cross and LLORENTE WITH HIS BACK TO GOAL AND A SPECTACULAR OVERHEAD BUT TIPPED ONTO THE BAR BY CANIZARES! That would have been some goal
    • 64' VALENCIA SUB: Joaquin off for David Villa, Los Ches looking for a cutting edge.
    • 58' VALENCIA SUB: David Silva on for Manuel Fernandes.
    • 54' The corner comes from the left and it lands at Baraja's feet, he takes a touch to cut inside and BARAJA DRIVES IT LOW AND DEFLECTED but Butelle gets down just in time to save on the line! Excellent keeping.
    • 53' Arizmendi on the left, cuts in and out past t6he full back to hit the byline but his cross is blocked into the side netting for a cornerÂ…
    • 52' Good chance for Llorente, who heads a Sisi cross wide.
    • 46' Second half underwayÂ…
    • 45' The ref blows for half-time, 1-1 at the Mestalla!
    • 44' Counter attack for Valencia and it arrives to SUNNY but he can't quite get there!
    • 42' Sisi now for Valladolid who is on the right, he swings it in for PEDRO LOPEZ BUT HE CAN'T MAKE CONTACT! Great chance for the visitors
    • 35' Joaquin to take a free kick for Valencia on the rightÂ… he swings in superb delivery FOR BARAJA TO FINISH BUT INCHES WIDE!! That should have been 2-1.
    • 30' Canizares is forced to palm the ball away under pressure from LlorenteÂ…
    • 27' The ball comes in from the right AND ARIZMENDI WITH THE HEADER BUT JUST WIDE WITH BUTELLE BEATEN!! Great chance for Valencia.
    • 23' GOAL! It's one apiece, and Fernando Morientes is the scorer. Another questionable piece of goalkeeping, although not as bad as Canizares' clanger. A weak long shot is palmed into the path of Morientes, and the former Liverpool man slots in from a tight angle.
    • 15' Valencia look somewhat shell-shocked after that Canizares howler. It really had to be seen to be believed. Valladolid are offering nothing going forward - and they won't have to as long as they lead.
    • 10' GOAL! Valladolid in front and that came out of nothing. A terrible blunder by Canizares, who drops a simple cross from the left, and Kome is on hand to tap the ball in from a couple of metres. The very definition of a gift!
    • 9' Joaquin makes an incisive run into the Valladolid box and appears to be clipped - good on him for staying on his feet but the ball goes through to the goalkeeper Butelle.
    • 6' Look below for team line-ups and benches. With Tuesday's game in mind, star striker David Villa has been left on the bench, leaving Fernando Morientes to plough a lone furrow up front.
    • 3' This game is of particular interest to Chelsea fans, who share a Champions League group with Valencia. Quique Sanchez Flores' side kick off their campaign with a tough trip to face Schalke on Tuesday.
    • 1' Under way at the Mestalla! Valencia are sporting their usual white shirts and black shorts, Valladolid are in purple.
