00:00You cannot take him for the games and I guess that it has been a difficult, difficult week for
00:08Valencia to work and to prepare this game because you don't know if you have all the players able
00:14to play or not and well sensitive injuries or like Rioja for example. Well there's a chance here
00:22comes through on goal and he's clipped the crossbar well that came out of nowhere 23 seconds into the
00:28game. Another disconnect at the back, Valencia take the throwing quickly, Hugo Duro,
00:38he's shot from long distance well it was rather hopeful from Pepe Lu who sliced it wide but again
00:44VÔzquez gets away, Hugo Duro set up for Diego López, it's a tame shot in the end but another
00:52close call from Valencia. Valencia it's moving the ball good, it's arriving good to the flank,
00:58but the truth is like there is only Hugo Duro inside of the box so it's difficult to find always the
01:04player when you have only one player inside. It's true that Atletico Madrid is very fast in transitions
01:11and Valencia probably they don't want to have any risk in the middle but they should put more players
01:20inside of the box if they want to create more damage to Atletico Madrid in the crosses.
01:25With the plate for Ugrinic, Barrios steps away the Valencia press, Sorloth has he gone too early,
01:34he'll look to finish off the move, he's forced Aguirre Favala to make the save, they're waiting for the
01:39linesman to raise his flag, he's given the corner so the move has stood initially. Seems like Sorloth didn't
01:49believe 100% that he could take a good position or probably he was thinking that it was an offside
01:56situation because I think that Atletico does this season.
02:02Well that ball will drop inside the box, another save from Aguirre Favala, the follow-up from Koque
02:07and he turns it into the bottom corner. Atletico Madrid going to the lead on 17 minutes at the Riyadh
02:15Metropolitano, there was a slice of luck with the ball dropping to Koque inside the box but he was in
02:22the right place at the right time and he scores his first goal in the season in La Liga EA Sports.
02:28Well in my opinion everything that happened in set pieces is not about lucky, it's about lack of
02:35concentration by the team who is defending. I think Valencia had two times to get a good position
02:43in to follow good players. First touch of JuliƔn, I think it was JuliƔn, that's the opponent the first
02:51time, I don't know, and then Koque. Both players free of marking in set pieces so I think it's not about
03:00the luck, it's about the lack of consistency of Valencia in this case. All the players had their eyes
03:09on the ball, they'll swept towards it and Koque is completely on his own. Sorlotte step over from
03:16the Norwegian player, well that's a clever ball towards the penalty spot.
03:23And that free kick will be a little bit of oxygen for Valencia, this will be toppled Diego López.
03:36Chipped in by Pepelo. Oh, Eduardo was stretching. Well he made contact with the ball and it just floated over the
03:43crossbar. It was a good strategy because everybody was thinking that it was going to be a straight
03:50shot or a ball to the second post, but the movement was was very good.
04:00Eyes were on the ball, it was not an easy finish for Hugo Duro.
04:03Oblak was complaining about the concentration of the players to follow Hugo Duro, but
04:11Barrios.
04:17Hugo Duro.
04:20López, he got there, you could hear the screams right by the microphone.
04:23He wants a yellow card.
04:29The referee does show the yellow card. Oh, that boy, that's the first booking of the game.
04:42I think we see how it just got away from the other López and that's what's ultimately resulted in
04:52that boy making that challenge.
04:57That's was Mavkov.
05:00It's a floaty ball, difficult to inject any pace onto it and it's gone the wrong way and it's ended up in
05:05the back of the net. Well, it was a pinball effect. It was finished off by Pepello in the end, it's what
05:10we were talking about earlier. Yeah, have to see the review because we need to see. There were a lot of
05:15things that happened, a lot of players involved, a lot of balls hitting bodies. What we do know is that
05:20Pepello has put the ball in the back of the net, but we'll just hold on the celebrations. He's not entirely
05:27sure. Let's see. In the previous action, the VAR cannot act because it's not a decisive action, but in this case
05:36needs to be, needs to be used.
05:40There, it could be Hugo Ruro, might be offside from the initial header from Fouquier.
05:48Because I think Pepello's back onside.
05:50If he touched the ball or not.
05:57Maybe Molina is... This is the one where it feels like
06:04Aldo might be offside, although...
06:08I'm saying it may be an apple from now on Molina, but his hand is stuck to his body.
06:13Pepello's onside. Yeah.
06:15So it can only be the offside of Ojo Ruro. Yeah.
06:20Let's see, let's see. Difficult, huh?
06:27Offside. Offside. That's an applauded advice, Simeone.
06:32Just making sure the referee knows that he's happy with his decision.
06:35It did look like it was clearly offside. It could be offside, yes.
06:40But still, Pepello trying to encourage his teammates and
06:44try and draw some positives from having been that close to scoring an equaliser,
06:47letting them know that they're not that far away in this game.
06:50Chomert. Oh, it's going to fall to Soloth. Soloth is through. Alexander Soloth saved by Aguirre Zabala.
07:04It was drilled straight at the goalkeeper.
07:06We didn't say anything yet about Aguirre Zabala. And with his youth,
07:13the level that he's given to Valencia and he has given to the Athletic Club last season.
07:20And in my opinion, the future of our country so far, the present for Valencia in this case,
07:29and performing very, very good. Very good level.
07:33Another solid stop from him. Denying Soloth.
07:38Had a couple of shots already saved by the past goalkeeper.
07:43Always in a good position. Always calm. Not guessing at all.
07:48I like his style.
07:55Barrios.
07:55Now, well, he goes for the shots.
08:00A bit of stretching, but it was all under control.
08:16Something a little bit different there from Hugo Gonzalez.
08:19Black.
08:28Chomerts it into Soloth. I think the referee feels that the Norwegian used his arm.
08:35We will show him a yellow card, or so it seemed.
08:38And Soloth explaining what he was doing, which is just holding off the defender.
08:53Yes.
08:53Juliano.
09:01Juliano.
09:05Sembling his options, and he found the head of Nico Onfalif. He still had a lot of work to do.
09:10Almeida.
09:14Almeida.
09:14Beltran.
09:21Shot from Beltran.
09:23A wonderful goal by Valencia, and you can't say that it's not deserved.
09:28Atletico Madrid invited them in, and they said thank you very much.
09:32And it's one all game on, with about half an hour to go.
09:35Well, despite the quality of the goal and the finishing, but it has been huge.
09:42Atletico was calling to this situation from the second half and the last 20 minutes of
09:49first half. So, I was to say that nobody was deserving more than the other to be winning this
09:56game. And I think now is the situation that could happen. The goal is massive. The quality of the
10:04finishing is huge, but Atletico, honestly, it was doing nothing to try to avoid this situation.
10:12Wonderful quick feet there from Lucas. Look at that finish. Nothing Juliano can do.
10:19And very, very good touch.
10:26The top towards Griezmann. Brilliant control from him, and a wonderful finish. Well, it needed an extra
10:37bit of quality, and it's always provided by Antoine Griezmann. A special finish, a special moment.
10:44And Atletico Madrid, with around 15 minutes to go, take the lead at the RiadƩ Metropolitano.
10:51And sometimes, Bruno, we have to say something to make it happen.
10:54I already said that the 62 players didn't improve that much the level of the team, and then Griezmann
11:01made this fantastic control and this finishing. So, he's a top level player. He knows Atletico fans
11:09now, and well, even if his mobility or energy has been not very, very high until this moment,
11:18he's able to do this kind of thing. That's a brilliant control trademark from Antoine Griezmann.
11:25He just spins back and he catches it on the turn. Nothing Aguirre Zavala can do there.
11:31It almost came out of nowhere for Atletico Madrid, but that's what happens when you do have the quality
11:36and the top level players.
11:43It's all odds. He could be through. Seems like he was offside. He's curled it into the bottom corner.
11:52And it could be game, set, match, Atletico Madrid. Just a couple of moments in this game from them.
12:00A couple of flashes of brilliance, and they've come away with the victory against a hard-working Valencia side.
12:07One more time, Bruno. Beautiful goal. Beautiful control. Once again, a ball in deep.
12:15And the control was everything, and then how he put the body just to open the...
12:24Offside. It did look like it was touch and go. Let's see.
12:29Off Griezmann initially. That one there.
12:34Griezmann has nothing to be in this, no?
12:37Let's see here. Okay. Makes more sense, yeah.
12:40Anyway, it was a very good move man, and how he opened his body to get both options,
12:49to play second pose and first pose, and then when the striker is taking this position,
12:55it's very difficult for a goalkeeper to guess where he's going to shot.
12:59And then he put the ball in an impossible place to arrive for Aguirre-Zaba.
13:07Difficult names, isn't it? Difficult names, yeah. In the Basque country.
13:11He's trying to make the team tick in these final minutes.
13:16Xavi Guerra.
13:17Ogodoro went down. Ball was played into the channel that he was looking to attack,
13:25and his vociferous reaction to the referee sees him pick up a yellow card.
13:33Well, it's worth having a look because...
13:43Ogodoro was on the inside of Mardui, so it didn't really make much sense for him to go down.
13:50Ramazani, full gear.
13:54Kinnan guide it back towards the box, all the goal.
13:56No one really too urgent to get the ball off him for Valencia.
14:08And the referee does blow the final whistle.
14:11Well, maybe wasn't the best evening from Islesco Madrid, but it's job done.
14:16Three more points. They continue to be involved in the title race.
14:21But really, Roberto was that man. It was that goal from Griezmann that came out of nothing.
14:26It was just through his quality, which really set the two teams apart.
