Valverde shot saved! The space opened up for the Real Madrid midfielder 20 yards out, he pulled his effort towards the near post, but Jaume wasn't fooled and makes the diving save!
This has been such a crazy, chaotic game. Valencia have a 3-1 lead, but the way the match has gone you wouldn't rule out a Real Madrid comeback. It's been that sort of night.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Valencia 3 (54 mins - Carlos Soler) Real Madrid 1. Soler switches it up this time and goes the other way! Courtois went the right way, but as was the case with the second penalty he just didn't have the strength in his hand to keep the ball out of the net! Valencia have a two-goal lead here!
Penalty
C. Soler
Marcelo is booked for his tackle and Valencia will have the chance to score for a second time from the spot!
Yellow card
Marcelo
PENALTY KICK TO VALENCIA! It's a second spot kick to the home team after Gomez is cleaned out by Marcelo inside the six-yard box.
Valencia have actually started the second half the better of the two teams in terms of possession and threat in the final third. Real Madrid are having to do some defending.
PICTURE: Valencia turned the game around!
Kang-In strikes the post! So close to a third Valencia goal! Kang-In picked up the pass, turned and then got the shot away from 20 yards out. Courtois did just enough to tip the strike on to the post!
Almost a disaster! Guillamon is far too relaxed at the back and very nearly allows Benzema through, but Jaume comes off his line to the edge of the box to make the save from the Frenchman!
The second half is under way! Valencia have a 2-1 lead over Real Madrid in this La Liga fixture!
What did you make of the first half at Mestalla? Does Zidane need to make changes to his Real Madrid side at the break? Do Valencia deserve to be leading? Tweet me your thoughts!
HALF TIME: Valencia 2-1 Real Madrid. Well, it's certainly been entertaining at Mestalla, but you can't really claim the play has been very high quality, especially from Real Madrid. Strange stuff.
There will be four minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the first half.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Valencia 2 (45 mins - Raphael Varane OG) Real Madrid 1. What a calamity at the back for Real Madrid! Varane spun the ball over Courtois and the Belgian goalkeeper couldn't do enough to scramble it off the line! Valencia have turned this match around! What a first half this has been!
Was there a foul on Asensio in the build up to the sequence that led to the goal? That's surely what the officials are now looking at. There was an arm in the face of Asensio from Cheryshev.
VAR checking... the officials are taking a very close look at this! The ball appeared to be over the line! What a bizarre sequence that was! It was an own goal lob over his own goalkeeper by Varane.
How didn't that go in? Wow! So close to a second Valencia goal! A cross from the right spun up into the air off Varane, Courtois then had to scramble it off the line... but did it actually cross the line?!
So much of Real Madrid's attacking play is coming down the left side. They have had nine attacka down the left side in this first half so far and only three attacks down the right.
