    Time:90'
    • Valencia
    • Villarreal
    • 90' A quite remarkable match ends 3-3!!! Thanks for joining me.
    • 88' Carnage in the Villarreal box, the ball is flying around everywhere and everywhere Lopez punches clear.
    • 83' ROSSI SCORES!!! 3-3!!! Remarkable stuff and still time for more.
    • 82' PENALTY TO VILLARREAL!!!! Capdevilla makes to check inside Joaquim, and goes to ground rather easily. Joaquim's hands were up...but there was minimal contact.
    • 79' GOOOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! Valencia have their league back within two minutes!! Edu gets the goal, rising to head home a Joaquin cross after the home side take a corner quickly. WHERE WAS THE MARKING?
    • 77' GOOOOOOAAAAALLL!!!! Joseba Llorente goes through...his first shot is saved by Renan, but he CRASHES HOME THE REBOUND TO BRING VILLARREAL LEVEL!!!! 2-2!!!
    • 76' Cazorla plays a lovely one-two and advances into the Valencia box...he tries to dink the ball over Renan, but the Villarreal stopper makes the save.
    • 74' David Silva works some magic on the left and his tantalising cross is met by VILLA...WHO SHOOTS JUST OVER THE BAR FIRST-TIME!!! What a chance!!
    • 73' Edu comes on to replace Albiol, who is struggling with what looks like a hamstring problem.
    • 71' Pires wastes no time setting up shop in the midfield and orchestrating play.
    • 67' Audacious overhead kick attempt from Mata, and it's not far over the bar!!
    • 65' 35-year-old Robert Pires is the next man on for Villarreal, replacing Bruno. The visitors are really going for this now.
    • 62' Valencia make another change. Emiliano Moretti is replaced by former Chelsea full-back Asier Del Horno - it's a stright like-for-like swap.
    • 57' Maduro has entered the fray for Valencia. Fernandes is the man replaced. Valencia may be looking to shore this one up.
    • 57' Fuentes comes crashing through the back of Mata in the box...he gets the ball, but you have definitely seen those given. The Valencia players are appealing wildly. But nothing doing.
    • 53' VILLARREAL SHOULD BE LEVEL!!! Joan Capdevilla sends over a lovely cross from the left and CAZORLA IS UNMARKED AT THE FAR POST WITH TIME AND SPACE...BUT HE TAKES IT FIRST TIME AND HIS VOLLEY FLIES OVER!!
    • 49' Soriano Bruno goes in the book for a foul.
    • 48' Villa is through on the left, but just as the crowd rise to their feet up goes the flag. He was clearly offside.
    • 46' Away we go with the second half. Edmilson has come on for Villarreal.
    • 45+2' And there's the half-time whistle! What a breaktaking opening period. Valencia could have scored seven, but they go into the interval with a narrow 2-1 lead. Who knows what will happen in the second half. Come back in 15 to find out!
    • 45+1' GOOOOAAAALLL!!!! Feuntes the substitute heads home from six yards, after a training ground corner routine sees a near-post click set him up. Villarreal and back it in!!!!
    • 42' NOW THE POST!!! This time it's Joaquin with the effort!!
    • 38' VILLA HITS THE BAR!!! The striker let fly with a left-foot drive and Lopez was beaten.
    • 32' Villarreal and controlling things for the time being, passing the ball comfortably and beginning to settle. You just feel they could easily get back into this.
    • 27' Leal meets a hopeful long free-kick, and his header draws a sharp save from Renan. Villarreal are far from dead and buried in this one.
    • 22' Gonzalo Prado is forced to come over after suffering an early knock. Fabricio Fuentes replaces him.
    • 21' Sebastien Eguren goes in the book for a cynical trip on Joaquin...Valencia have a free-kick in a very dangerous position, central and 25 yards out. But they waste it.
    • 20' Ibagaza breaks from midfield and gets to the ball before Renan, but he can't quite direct his touch and it runs behind for a goal-kick.
    • 17' Manuel Fernandes crashes a ferocious drive from just outside the box...Lopez gets down well to save.
    • 13' Giuseppe Rossi tries his luck from long-range, but Renan is equal to his effort.
    • 10' GOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!! David Albeida finds David Villa with a wonderful ball from the right touchline...the striker cuts inside Diego Leal and crashes a left-foot shot past Lopez to put Valencia 2-0 up!!! WORLD-CLASS FINISHING FROM THE SPANISH INTERNATIONAL!!
    • 5' WHAT AN EFFORT FROM ARIEL IBAGAZA!!! He ghosts forward and tries an impudent chip from 20 yards...Brito Renan makes a fine save to deny him. Moments later a corner is whipped in from the right and the ball deflects onto the crossbar. It's all happening!
    • 1' GOOOOAAAALLL!!!!! Joaquin crosses from the right and RUBEN BARAJA IS UNMARKED TO HEAD PAST DIEGO LOPEZ AND GIVE THE HOME SIDE A SENSATIONAL LEAD INSIDE THE FIRST MINUTE!!!
    • 1' And away we go, this should be a humdinger!
