Week 3 - Benidormida 1 Valencia 1

Gibney only made one change to the side that beat Real Betis, Valeny comes in to replace Zebina, and it was Valeny who created the first chance, firing in a great cross from the right, Vederson was free in the area, but he could only head the ball wide a terrific chance to gain the lead was wasted by the talented Turk.

And Benidormida were made to rue that miss as Valencia took the lead after 25 minutes, Grimi had gone on the attack and left a huge space in the defence, Miguel Angulo exploited the space and chipped a lovely ball into David Silva, he took the ball on the volley and smashed it past Dida, the home fans silenced.

Ben Sahar had a great chance to level the game before half time, he took on the Valencia defence on his own, beat two men, his shot was deflected wide past the post.

Benidormida the better side over the 45 minutes but it's the scoreline that counts.

The home team came out all guns blazing, and got the equaliser after 5 minutes, Clark played the ball out to Reyes, he laid it off to Grimi, Reyes made the run inside, Grimi found him with a lovely chip, Reyes turned while chesting the ball down and finished in exquisite fashion a wonderful goal worthy of all 3 points.

One point was all either team could manage though, Benidormida had a chance to win the game at the end, Charlie Davies heading wide while unmarked, he couldn't turn Reyes cross on target.

Valencia will be alot happier with the point, Gibney will hope the 2 points lost are now crucial.
