Player Ratings: Valencia 1-1 Mallorca

Valencia

Cesar - 6: Didn't make any mistakes, and can't be blamed for being beaten with the penalty.

Bruno - 5: Was having a decent game and threatened going forward, but ruined his night with a needless foul to concede a penalty.

David Navarro - 6: Generally looked calm, but did concede a couple of needless free-kicks.

Angel Dealbert - 7: Shackled Mallorca's forwards throughout, hardly giving them a sniff.

Jeremy Mathieu - 7: One of his best game so far, always dangerous going forward, and didn't give much away defensively.

David Albelda - 6: A solid game, but didn't impose himself as much as usual.

Ever Banega - 7: Held the midfield together well, and provided the assist for the goal.

Pablo Hernandez - 6: Looked especially dangerous in the first half, but faded at times in the second.

David Silva - 6: Caused plenty of problems during his short time on the pitch, but unfortunately had to leave through injury.

Juan Mata - 7: Created a lot of openings for his team-mates, but could have done with better finishing.

David Villa - 7: Took his goal well, but also missed some other chances that he would normally be expected to score.

Substitutes

Joaquin - 7: A very encouraging performance after replacing Silva, and was unlucky not to score when he hit the woodwork.

Alexis - N/A

Nicola Zigic - N/A

Mallorca

Dudu Aouate - 8: Made some excellent saves to keep his side in the game when they were 1-0 down.

Josemi - 7: Did his defensive duties well, and provided support going forward.

Nunes - 6: Frustrated Villa throughout the night.

Ivan Ramis - 6: Formed a solid partnership with Nunes, limiting the amount of chances created by Valencia's talented front line.

Ayoze - 6: Had a few problems down his wing in the first half, but improved in the second.

Jose Marti - 5: A fairly ineffectual performance, allowed Valencia plenty of space without getting forward much.

Mario Suarez - 5: Like his midfield partner, hardly had an impact.

Borja Valero - 7: Provided the link between midfield and attack, and calmly slotted the penalty home under pressure.

Gonzalo Castro - 7: Was a constant nuisance for the defence, and their frustration was evident when he was fouled for the penalty.

Victor - 4: A completely anonymous performance up front.

Aritz Aduriz - 5: Worked hard all night long, but to no avail.

Substitutes

Pierro Webo - 4: Barely touched the ball after coming on.
