- 90'+6'Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
- 90'+6'Valencia are next in LaLiga action after the international break against Deportivo Alaves on the road on November 22. Real Madrid are away on November 21 in their LaLiga contest against Villarreal.
- 90'+6'Valencia record their first win in five matches, hammering Real Madrid 4-1 at the Mestalla in their LaLiga clash. Karim Benzema put Los Blancos ahead, but after that the home side dominated the contest. Carlos Soler scored a hat-trick of penalties, while Raphael Varane also put the ball into his own net. VAR played a decisive but fair role in the outcome of the game. Soler and Javi Gracia's men were the beneficiaries to secure a vital victory to end their run of poor form.
- 90'+6'FULL-TIME: VALENCIA 4-1 REAL MADRID
- 90'+4'Madrid continue to press late in the game. They're looking for a consolation goal at the least, while Zidane will be pleased to see that the effort is still there from his team.
- 90'+3'CLOSE! Mariano comes close once again, attacking a cross from the right flank from Vazquez. He rises to direct his header towards goal, but it travels wide of the left post.
- 90'+2'WIDE! Rodrygo runs at the Valencia defence before offloading to Mariano in space on the edge of the box. He powers an effort at goal first time, but sends his attempt wide of the left post.
- 90'+1'OVER! Kroos lifts a corner into the box from the right flank and the ball is deflected towards Jovic. He sticks out a boot to divert it towards goal, but can only help his effort over the bar.
- 90'There will be six minutes of added time.
- 87'Sobrino comes on for Gomez in the final third.
- 87'Jason replaces Musah for the home side down the right flank.
- 86'Domenech goes into the book for timewasting. A needless one for the keeper there.

- 84'Guillamon goes into the book for a late challenge on Mariano.
- 83'Isco is withdrawn for the closing stages of the game and is replaced by Jovic.

- 75'Modric turns with menace on the left flank and fires a cross into the box, but Guillamon rises in the middle to direct it away from the box.
- 73'Valencia have been by far the better side since drawing level in the first half. Although decisions have gone their way, Gracia will be thrilled with the performances of his players across the board tonight.
- 71'OVER! Valverde latches on to a loose clearance from Guillamon on the edge of the Valencia box. He goes for a strike on the half-volley, but clips his effort well over the bar.
- 70'Marcelo sums up Madrid's performance since the Valencia equaliser, clipping a routine cross over the head of Benzema and out for a goal-kick.
- 68'OVER! Rodrygo, Benzema and Odegaard combine with one-touch passes to release Vazquez into space down the right flank. However, the full-back can only blaze his strike over the bar.

- 64'Rodrygo comes on for Madrid to replace Asensio in the final third.
- 64'Vinicius is withdrawn for the visitors and is replaced by Odegaard.
- 63'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! SOLER HAS A HAT-TRICK!!! 4-1 VALENCIA!!!! The midfielder completes a hat-trick of penalties with a composed strike into the bottom-right corner. He fires the ball with power away from the dive of Courtois into the net. What a game for Soler.
- 62'Ramos goes into the book for his handball, resulting in the Valencia penalty.
- 62'PENALTY TO VALENCIA! Valencia have their third spot-kick of the game. Ramos does nudge the ball away from Musah with his arm. The referee has no choice but to point to the spot. It's Soler again for the hosts.
- 59'VAR! Valencia appeal for a third penalty. Musah tries to break past Ramos in the box and the Madrid skipper appears to nudge the ball away from the winger with his arm. The referee will take a look at the incident at the screen at the side of the pitch.
- 58'SAVE! Modric clips a pass into the right inside channel for the run of Asensio. The forward rifles a low strike towards goal from a tight angle, but Domenech charges down the strike with a good block.
- 57'SAVE AND OVER! Valverde produces a neat turn on the edge of the box and fires a low strike towards the bottom-left corner. Domenech gets down to push it away from goal, although Vinicius gathers the rebound. He turns to open up space for a shot on his right foot, only to blaze his attempt over the bar.
- 56'Gaya breaks down the left flank and hammers a cross towards the middle, but he can only send it behind for a goal-kick. The Valencia captain has his head in his hands after that one.
- 54'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! SOLER SCORES HIS SECOND!!!! 3-1 VALENCIA!! The midfielder holds his composure from the spot to bury his right-footed strike beyond the reach of Courtois into the bottom-right corner. He goes to the opposite side than his first effort and is rewarded. Valencia have command of the game now.
- 45'+6'Zinedine Zidane will be concerned with Real Madrid's performance after Soler's equaliser. They failed to get back on top and paid the price by falling behind. Los Blancos will have to display greater urgency in the second period to get back on track.
- 52'Marcelo is booked for his challenge on Gomez, leading to the Valencia penalty.
- 45'+6'Valencia take a 2-1 lead into the break over Real Madrid at the Mestalla in their LaLiga clash. Karim Benzema put Los Blancos ahead with a stunning strike from the edge of the box. Carlos Soler scored from the penalty spot at the second attempt after Yunus Musah encroached from the first, scoring on the rebound after Soler missed. VAR then aided the hosts once again as Raphael Varane's sliced clearance travelled over the line from Maxi Gomez's low cross. The game has not been short of drama.
- 51'PENALTY TO VALENCIA! The home side earn their second penalty of the game. Gaya charges down the left flank and gets the better of Vazquez. He plays a one-two with Racic before backheeling a cross towards Gomez. The forward is brought down by Marcelo as he tries to turn and the referee points to the spot.
- 45'+6'HALF-TIME: VALENCIA 2-1 REAL MADRID
- 45'+5'SAVE! Modric gets the better of Gaya in the right inside channel and shapes to shoot from a tight angle, but his low strike is saved by Domenech at the near post.
- 49'Los Blancos are struggling to find their rhythm at the start of the second half. Zidane may need to alter his side on the field.
- 45'+4'Marcelo has space and time on the left flank, but his low cross into the middle is gathered with ease by Domenech.
- 47'OFF THE POST! Kang-In lines up a drive from distance on his left foot and he connects sweetly with his strike. It travels towards the bottom-right corner, but it cannons off the post due to a fingertip save from Courtois and bounces to safety.
- 45'+2'Madrid are now in danger of heading into the break behind. It has been a great comeback from the home side to bounce back from Benzema's strike.
- 46'We're back underway at the Mestalla.
- 45'There will be four minutes of added time.
- 43'VAR! Hang on. VAR is taking a look at the incident as the ball looks to have crossed the line on the replay.
- 43'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! VARANE SLICES THE BALL INTO HIS OWN NET!!! 2-1 VALENCIA! VAR overturns the call from the referee of no goal. Varane slices his own clearance over the line from Gomez's cross. Despite the best efforts of the Frenchman and Courtois on the line the ball narrowly edges over to allow the home side to take the lead. What a turnaround at the Mestalla.
- 43'OFF THE LINE! Varane and Courtois hack the ball off the Madrid line after almost scoring an own goal. Gomez fires a low ball into the box from the right flank and Varane slices his clearance towards goal. It loops over Courtois, who falls down on the line. Between keeper and defender, the two Madrid players do enough to prevent it from crossing the line.
- 42'Cheryshev almost gets away a from Vazquez down the left flank, but the full-back does just enough on the slide to knock the ball into touch.
- 41'Soler clips the ankles of Asensio running up the pitch and goes into the book.
- 39'Madrid have been knocked out of their stride since the Valencia penalty was awarded. Zidane will be a tad concerned by his side's reaction.
- 37'Musah makes a driving run into the box from the right flank and goes down under pressure from Marcelo. Valencia's players react for a second, but the American simply loses his footing rather than being brought down.
- 35'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! AFTER ALL THAT VALENCIA ARE LEVEL!!!! 1-1!!! On his second time from the spot Soler buries his effort beyond the reach of Courtois to find the bottom-left corner. He goes for the same side as his first effort, but on this occasion the midfielder puts enough power on his strike to beat the Belgian. Game on.
- 29'PENALTY TO VALENCIA! Gaya latches on to a clip forward from Soler and fires a cross into the box. Vazquez blocks it with his arms away from his body and the referee points to the spot.
- 27'Kang-In tries to offer impetus for the home side, but he gets closed down by Vazquez after a neat piece of skill on the edge of the Madrid box.
- 25'Valencia have been a tad slack in their pressing and have paid the price. Gracia needs to get his team further up the field.
- 23'Marcelo works a simple offload back to Benzema, who does the rest with a stunning effort.
- 23'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! BENZEMA PUTS MADRID AHEAD!!!! 1-0!!!! The Frenchman notches his fourth LaLiga goal of the season to put his team in front. Marcelo works a pass back to Benzema in space on the edge of the box. He is afforded space and time to rifle a powerful drive beyond the reach of Domenech into the top-right corner. A super strike.
- 22'Modric's free-kick is cleared by the first Valencia defender, but the visitors come again. Marcelo clips a low cross into the box that forces Gaya to scamper ahead of Ramos to clear.
- 21'Racic brings down Asensio on the right flank, handing Madrid a free-kick in a useful position.
- 19'Gaya is played into acres of space down the left flank and cuts a low ball into the box. Valverde is on his mettle and slides to make the interception ahead of Gomez.
- 18'Isco has space down the left flank and he cuts back on to his right foot to cross into the box. However, his delivery narrowly evades the late run of Asensio in the middle.
- 16'Benzema rises at the near post to head at goal from Modric's corner, but he guides his effort into the ground allowing Domenech to make a comfortable claim.
- 15'Madrid are starting to assert their dominance on the contest, but need to improve their clinical edge in the final third.
- 13'SAVE! Marcelo raids down the left flank and cuts the ball back for Modric. The midfielder steers a low strike down towards the bottom-left corner, but Domenech makes the stop before Benzema is flagged offside from the rebound.
- 12'Racic is combative in the middle of the park to dispossess Valverde then Vazquez, but the visitors manage to retain possession amid sloppy play from the hosts.
- 10'WIDE! Asensio finds space on the edge of the Valencia box and goes for a left-footed drive, but he places his strike narrowly wide of the right post.
- 9'Marcelo and Asensio combine to allow the former to lift a cross towards Benzema in the box. However, after bringing down the ball, he loses his footing and spurns the opening.
- 7'Vazquez wipes out Gaya on the charge and is fortunate to escape a booking.
- 6'Cheryshev bursts down the left flank and lifts a cross deep towards the right inside channel. It falls to Musah to strike, but he scuffs his effort away from goal.
- 4'Soler whips the set-piece into the box, but Courtois comes off his line to claim the cross with ease.
- 3'Vazquez has to be on his mettle at the back to prevent Cheryshev from breaking in behind from Wass' ball over the top. Valencia win a corner on the left flank.
- 1'We're underway at the Mestalla.
- -After losing five consecutive home LaLiga games against Real Madrid between 2009 and 2013, conceding at least three goals each time, Valencia have only lost one of their last six home games against Real Madrid in the top flight (W3 D2).
- -Eden Hazard and Casemiro are both missing after testing positive for Covid-19, forcing Zinedine Zidane to alter his team. As a result, there are four changes from the side that beat Inter. Marcelo returns at left-back in place of Mendy, who drops to the bench. Kroos also slides out of the line-up as Modric starts. Vincius and Isco come into the fold in place of Hazard and Casemiro.
- -Valencia have made one change to their side from their draw against Getafe last time out. Thierry Correia is suspended following his dismissal last week and is replaced by Racic in the starting line-up. It results in Wass switching to right-back and Racic starting in the middle of the park.
- -REAL MADRID SUBS: Toni Kroos, Andriy Lunin, Luka Jovic, Martin Odegaard, Ferland Mendy, Mariano Diaz, Rodrygo Silva, Diego Altube, Sergio Santos.
- -REAL MADRID (4-3-3): Thibaut Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Luka Modric, Federico Valverde, Isco; Marco Asensio, Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior.
- -VALENCIA SUBS: Toni Lato, Eliaquim Mangala, Goncalo Guedes, Kevin Gameiro, Ruben Sobrino, Manu Vallejo, Jason, Cristian Rivero, Koba Koindredi, Alex Blanco.
- -VALENCIA (4-4-2): Jaume Domenech; Daniel Wass, Gabriel Paulista, Hugo Guillamon, Jose Gaya; Yunus Musah, Carlos Soler, Uros Racic, Denis Cheryshev; Lee Kang-In, Maxi Gomez.
- -Real Madrid dug out an impressive 3-2 win over Inter during the week in their Champions League clash. They were pegged back twice by the Nerazzurri, but were good enough to maintain their recent form. Their performances in LaLiga have been excellent of late, defeating Barcelona 3-1 and hammering Huesca 4-1 last week. They will be eager to keep pace with leaders Real Sociedad with another win, despite a Covid-19 outbreak in their ranks.
- -Valencia have made an average start to their campaign, taking eight points from their opening eight matches. Javi Gracia is under pressure after his side's underwhelming start, having only taken the reins in the summer. They're winless in their last four matches, including three defeats. Valencia did draw last time out against Getafe courtesy of a late penalty by Carlos Soler in a dramatic finish at the Mestalla. They will need to be flawless tonight.
- -Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the LaLiga clash between Valencia and Real Madrid at the Mestalla.
