The final whistle goes and once again Soldado is the goal hero for Valencia! Atletico are still yet to score.

Four minutes of injury time are signalled. Atletico don't look like they will be able to level in that time.

Falcao has not had much influence at all this evening. It will clearly take him time to adapt. The Colombian scored 41 goals in 50 league games at Porto, so you have to think he will come good sooner rather than later.

Falcao was inside the Valencia there, screaming for a simple pass across to him from Turan that never came.

GREAT SAVE FROM GUAITA! Turan stormed into the box from the right and hit a smart low finish for inside the near bottom corner but Guaita is down quickly to tip it round the post!

Unai Emery is making all kinds of gestures and hand movements on the sidelines to his players. he knows this match isn't won yet.
79'
Atletico have numbers on Valencia as they burst forward, but it's a case of one pass too many as they try to break through and give Los Che time to regroup.
