This year’s La Liga started in the most ideal and impressive way for the Valenciawho walked away with a super double from “Sanchez Pithuan”, shocking her Sevilla (1-2) in the premiere of the Spanish league!
In a match full of emotions, it was the ‘Bats’ who opened the scoring on the hour mark when, after a nice development and build-up, Diakambi sent the ball into the net with a close up! The Andalusians’ reply came ten minutes later with the usual suspect En Nesiri to level the match with a stunning header at the second post!
The game then became a ‘rodeo’, which resulted in the home team being down to ten men in the 80′ due to the direct red card seen by Balde for hard marking.
In the end, Valencia’s pressure in the final piece paid off, with the Guerrawho had entered the field in the 62nd minute, to shape it final 2-1 in 89′giving his team an important victory!
