    • Valencia
    • - Stay with us for more text commentary on La Liga, with Real Betis hosting Atletico Madrid!
    • 90'+6 And there goes the final whistle! What a great result for Espanyol!
    • 90'+6 GOOOOOL! NENE DOES GET HIS GOAL IN THE END! He sends Cesar Sanchez the wrong way and Espanyol lead 3-0!
    • 90'+5 PENALTY TO ESPANYOL AS RUFETE IS BROUGHT DOWN BY PABLO!
    • 90'+5 Villa forces Kameni into action with a snap shot! But the Espanyol keeper easily turns it around the post for a corner!
    • 90'+3 Nene again goes close to grabbing a goal! But again his effort is just wide of the mark!
    • 90' Five minutes of added time to be played... not sure where that's come from...
    • 90' De la Pena departs to rapturous applause as Rufete comes on to replace the Espanyol skipper!
    • 89' Callefon's through here! Valencia are falling apart! But the substitute fires straight at Cesar Sanchez!
    • 85' Espanyol fans can now greet every completed pass with an 'ole'!
    • 82' GOOOOL! PAREJA MAKES IT TWO FOR ESPANYOL! It's a great free-kick, aimed right into the top corner and surely there's no way back for Valencia now!
    • 82' Off goes Tamudo - to a standing ovation - and on comes Callejon...
    • 80' Oooh! Nene flashes a shot wide of the upright! And despite Valencia's changes, there's only one side who really looks like scoring at the moment...
    • 78' Here comes a double change for Valencia as Vicente and Morientes come on for Madura and Baraja...
    • 75' And then Cesar Sanchez is called into more action to repel a crisp strike from the edge of the box!
    • 74' GARCIA! Oooh! Espanyol are all over Valencia at the moment! De la Pena plays in Garcia, but his shot is saved by Cesar Sanchez!
    • 72' Joaquin is replaced by Pablo as Valencia chase the game...
    • 67' That's just what this game needed to spark it into life! Valencia have it all to do now!
    • 66' GOOOOOL! ESPANYOL LEAD! And what a goal it is! Roman Martinez, the substitute, rifles into the top left hand corner from the edge of the area! Superb strike!
    • 63' Time for an Espanyol change now as Alonso is replaced...
    • 61' NENE! NO! His little chip floats over the bar after the ball fell to him on just outside the box with Cesar Sanchez way off his line!
    • 56' De la Pena sends Tamudo away on the Espanyol right... but his cross is headed clear before Alonso can get there...
    • 53' VILLA! Ooooh! He denied a goal from a free-kick by a big Kameni hand to tip the ball around the corner!
    • 50' It's taken quickly... bad idea... no one's really ready and Espanyol area able to clear...
    • 49' Baraja pings a ball forward for Silva... and he's dumped to the ground... free-kick to the visitors...
    • 46' Back under way in a still sunny Barcelona!
    • 45' There goes the whistle and the teams head in at the break locked at 0-0!
    • 44' What a break by Espanyol! Tamudo tees up Alonso for a shot! But he slices his effort terribly wide of the target!
    • 41' Mata with a chance to deliver a decent ball into the box now, but his effort is overcooked, although it's headed behind by Chica under no pressure at the back stick for a corner!
    • 39' Ooh! That's closer than Cesar Sanchez thinks from Nene! It looks like a cross, but is in danger of curling into the far corner! In the end, it flashes wide of the post!
    • 37' Alonso rises to meet a long throw into the box... but his header doesn't really go anywhere and Valencia clear.
    • 35' Just 10 minutes remaining in the first half at Montjuic and still no breakthrough.
    • 30' Sanchez centres... it's a dangerous one and Albiol is forced into heading behind for an Espanyol corner!
    • 28' Mata springs the offside trap! But his pull-back from the by-line is cut out by the Espanyol defence and Villa won't get there!
    • 26' Alonso looks to tee up De La Pena on the edge of the Valencia area! But it's too short and the move breaks down.
    • 22' Silva goes for a left-footed curler from distance! But his effort is well wide, and only troubles the ballboy who it hits on the athletics track behind the goal...
    • 19' VILLA! The Spain international sees a snap shot saved by Kameni, low down to his right!
    • 18' Villa nearly skips round the entire Espanyol defence! But he's stopped at the last and the hosts come away with the ball...
    • 16' Great chance for Miguel! Joawuin slips it through for him but the Portuguese can only fire wide of the mark!
    • 13' De la Pena feeds Luis Garcia, who in turn plays it to Alonso... he fires on goal from the edge of the box! But it's wide of the mark this time and Cesar Sanchez is not troubled again...
    • 10' Oooh! Luis Garcia crashes a shot inches wide of Cesar Sanchez's upright, with the Valencia keeper struggling to get there! Cracking effort!
    • 9' Villa takes a tumble on his way through on goal! But the ref fails to see an infringement and waves play on!
    • 7' Silva looks to get past Sanchez on the Valencia left, but that's good defending from the Espanyol right-back...
    • 5' Here come Valencia again... but Baraja's final ball is poor and goes straight out of play.
    • 3' Lovely stuff from Villa as he jinks past one challenge on the edge of the Espanyol box... but he's stopped in his tracks soon enough...
    • 1' Chance almost straight from the kick-off for the hosts! But Cesar Sanchez is off his line quickly to snuff out the danger!
    • 1' Here we go! Under way in Barcelona!
    • - Villarreal's defeat to Sevilla last night means Valencia can move four points clear in the final Champions League place.
    • - Valencia can tighten their grip on fourth place with victory over struggling Espanyol tonight.
