Getafe Vs. Valencia: Roberto Soldado Equalizes For Los Che

Well, that didn’t take long. Just 45 seconds into the second half, Valencia have found their well deserved equalizer, finally putting a shot in a place where Oscar Usteri couldn’t save it for Getafe. Roberto Soldado is the man who scored, and Getafe will likely now feel like they have a mountain to climb, despite being involved in a tie game at home. Valencia already had the momentum before their goal, and scoring will only increase their confidence.

Soldado did well to out-pace his defender and finish the chance on the fast break, but the real credit for the goal should probably go to Juan Mata. Valencia’s superstar and No. 10 played a sublime ball into the box for Soldado to run onto, and the best part is that it’s the kind of stunning pass that he often makes look routine. After getting a goal so early into the second half, Valencia will likely have the goal of taking the lead quickly and not letting the drama drag out.
