Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Valencia v Racing Santander from the Mestalla in the opening week of La Liga.

All over! A 4-3 win for Valencia without Juan Mata. What a victory on the opening night of the season.

Four minutes to be added to this match....

GOAL!! Soldado pounces on a wonderful cross from Alba to stab the ball home from close range. Three goals tonight for him for Valencia. A hat-trick and one at the other end, but Valencia now lead 4-3. Surely the winner.

What a finish to this match. Can Valencia grab the winner? Hector Cuper looking a bit concerned on the visiting bench.

GOAL!! Soldado pounces on Jonas's return pass to slam the ball beyond Tono. Valencia level so late in the game at 3-3.

Strong play by Rami. Wins the ball well, but he has to get the ball up the other end of the park. Clock is Valencia's enemy out there.

Bakircioglu runs the ball into the corner flag before Adrian's weak shot trundles into the arms of Vicente.

Rami takes out Munitis with a late push, and the visiting side have a free-kick chance here.

Jonas continues a fine run into the box, but he can't get on the end of an overhit pass as Tono prepares to take a goalkick for the visiting side.

Valencia win a corner. Tino Costa with it. Ball breaks to Banega 25 yards out, but he thumps his shot wide of the target.

Valencia with so much of this ball in the second half. 72%, but they trail 3-2. So unfortunate to be behind.

Jonas tries to feed Soldado, but the flag goes up as he is caught offside.

Change coming here for the visiting side as Arana is replaced by Samperio.

Soldado almost in for his second goal of the day. Valencia continue to push bodies up the park. Soldado penalised seconds later for pushing.

Tino Costa picks up a booking for a late challenge on Munitis. All a bit frantic out there.

Jonas hit a post for Valencia! So close to 3-3. Can't believe that stayed out. Banega takes a tumble, but never a penalty.

Bedia foulded Rami, but he has gone to ground like he has been shot. Play-acting there.

Munitis plays a decent pass out to Arana, but he can't get the ball into the danger. Meanwhile, Bedia is on the deck.

Decent cross into the area by Adrian, but headed away by Topal. Valencia desperate for this equaliser.

Munitis knocks the ball off a white shirt and the visiting side earn themselves a corner.
