The match started off at a high tempo at both ends with both sides looking to break away on the counter-attack at every opportunity. Valencia CF had some early defending to do in the early goings of the game.
Diego López broke the deadlock just under the quarter-hour mark after a brilliant piece of play, a give-and-go with Javi Guerra to get in behind Chumi to slot the ball home beyond Maximiliano’s reach to put Valencia CF in front at the Power Horse Stadium.
Moments later, André Almeida forced Maximiliano into a save over the halfway mark of the first half. Alas, Valencia CF managed to withstand a flurry of UD chances which Giorgi Mardashvili snuffed out with back-to-back brilliant stops over the half-hour mark to keep the scoreline at 0-1
