Valencia CF started on the back foot having to withstand the opposition relentless waves of attacks in the early goings of the first half. Valencia CF found their feet over the 15-minute mark.
Two minutes later, Carlos Soler made a crucial clearance inside the 18-yard box to keep it at 0-0.
Halfway through the first half, however, Yunus Musah put on the afterburners and tore away on the break from his own half and slotted it away beyond David Soria to open the scoring and his account for the season.
Valencia CF grew into the game following Yunus’ opener as minutes later, Denis Cheryshev tried his luck but his shot blazed over the bar. The game got cagier going into half-time.

Valencia CF had a carbon copy of a start to the second half sitting back deep in their own half and things took a turn for the worse when Thierry Correia got sent off on 55 minutes for a double booking.
The game saw a stop-start spell with plenty of tackles flying in as Valencia CF defended resolutely deep in their own half defending their 1-0 lead. However, Valencia CF had two guilt-edged chances in quick succession late on in the second half.
First Uroš Račić who managed to get his shot away but could not quite guide past the keeper and then Toni Lato who was denied by David Soria and the game swung in Getafe’s favour with two late goals.
However, Valencia CF were awarded a spot-kick deep into stoppage time. Carlos Soler stepped up to dispatch the ball straight down the middle to earn Valencia CF a hard-fought point in an eventful game at Mestalla.
