Munir salvages a point for Valencia

1 month ago  Raphael   Sport News

Sporting Gijon will have been disappointed not to have taken home all three points after leading late at the Estadio Mestalla on Saturday, but Munir, who had missed several earlier opportunities, nodded home an 84th minute equaliser.A victory would have given Rubi's side a big boost in their survival hopes, but instead Valencia found a way to earn a point, although that is hardly any consolation for a team who continue to spiral even with their new coach.Sporting Gijon keeper Pichu Cuellar stopped a Parejo penalty that would have given Los Ches the lead in the 55th minute, but the shot-stopper guessed the right way to make an impressive low diving save to his right.Just five minutes later, a Sporting counter attack was expertly finished by Cop, after it had looked like Burgui had lost all of the initiative.There was plenty of late pressure from Valencia as the Estadio Mestalla demanded much more from their side, and eventually Munir found a way with a looping header.Neither side will be entirely happy with the draw given how the match played out, as Rubi will lament the way his team failed to close the game out whereas Voro will be furious at how his side lack the concentration they usually show against bigger sides.
