Valencia and Real Madrid share a point after a tight game that burst into life in the final ten minutes!
The game began in cautious fashion as Valencia set up in a compact formation that aimed to frustrate the away side.
Nevertheless, both teams could have scored in the opening period with Torres and Benzema both missing glaring opportunities.
However, the hosts came out much more aggressively in the second 45 as Madrid became strangely passive and failed to continue to control the game.
Eventually, Valencia’s pressure told and they got what seemed to be the winning goal late on when Wass set up Soler to slot past Courtois.
Madrid, though, refused to be beaten and after Valverde’s disallowed strike, they equalised in the final seconds when Courtois’ header was parried into the path of Benzema who lashed home a dramatic goal to ensure it finished 1-1.
