A late goal from substitute
David Villa saved a point for Valencia at Zaragoza. The Spanish international
striker ran on to a flicked on pass from Mista to make it 2-2 just a couple of
minutes after coming on against his old side, but refused to celebrate the goal
out of respect for the local fans.
It was a lively match, with
Angulo putting the visitors ahead in the first minute after Di Vaio set him up,
and Ewerthon crashing home an equaliser just six minutes later. The Brazilian
midfielder had to leave the field with concussion soon afterwards, but Cani
came on to replace him and put his side ahead with a well placed header around
the half hour mark.
Víctor Muñoz
had to make his second substitution a minute or two later after César
picked up an injury, and Toledo helped his replacement Valbuena out soon
afterwards after Di Vaio looked like connecting with Mista's cross. But the
locals took over control after the restart and only first class saves by
Cañizares from Diego Milito, Oscar González and Celades kept his
side in the game until Villa's late strike saved them a point.
