GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Valencia 1 Real Madrid 2 (89 mins - Karim Benzema). What an incredible turnaround!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Valencia 1 Real Madrid 1 (87 mins - Vinicius Junior). A late equaliser for Real Madrid and it has come through Vinicius! Benzema controlled a pass, played the ball out to Vinicius and the Brazilian guides a low finish in at the near post. He was, however, helped by a pretty big deflection!

Of course, Valencia are a club with great potential. They are one of Spanish football’s biggest clubs, but they have struggled in recent seasons to compete at the top of La Liga. This, however, is progress!

There are also signs of a growing understanding between Benzema and Vinicius which is interesting considering what the former had to say about the latter last season… none of that tonight, though.
78'
Vinicius has also been in excellent form for Real Madrid. While the Brazilian winger has always had potential, he is starting to find the final product that had previously evaded him, but he was poor tonight.

Benzema shot saved! The Real Madrid striker creates the space for the shot on the edge of the Valencia penalty area, but his effort is tame and straight at the opposition goalkeeper!
