Valencia came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Zaragoza on Saturday evening. The locals raced in to the lead early, Apoño getting the first from the penalty spot in only the fifth minute after Víctor Ruíz brought down Postiga inside the area, and Postiga adding the second on the half hour mark with a header from Apoño's wide free kick. However just four minutes later Jonas got one back, turning the ball past Leo Franco after Soldado stepped over Cissokho's cross, and with twenty minutes to go the Brazilian forward got his second of the evening after Víctor Ruíz headed across a Dani Parejo free kick. A few minutes later Leo Franco got himself sent off for handling outside of the area, and with first choice keeper Roberto suffering from an illness, B team's Pablo Alcolea came on to make the save of the evening from Soldado. The match ended in controversy when Postiga scrambled the ball in to the net in injury time only for the referee to rule out the strike for what he considered to be a foul on the keeper. A point apiece in the end though, which keeps Valencia in fifth place and takes the Maños five points clear of the drop zone.
