Valencia CF 3 – Athletic Club 2

Athletic Club lost 3-2 in Mestalla. Aduriz scored both rojiblanco goals, whereas Soldado (penalty), Tino Costa and Valdez scored the three local goals. The rojiblancos were superior until Herrera was justly sent-off, even though some other rival players also deserved it before the interval or prior to that of being booked with a penalty. Once again, with the direction the match was heading, there was just no luck in some of the important decisions taken.

Herrera will not be available for the next Liga match and Muniain’s participation is doubtful for the important European commitment on Thursday in Lyon against Olympique, as he suffered a blow in his quadriceps during the match.
