Valencia was far superior in the first half to a very timorous Espanyol, who were lucky enough to equalize just two minutes after Diego López put Valencia ahead shortly before the break.
If César Montes drew the tables in the first shot between the three sticks, Braithwaite made it 1-2 as soon as the second half began. Valencia got nervous and rushed and when Espanyol was already savoring victory, Lino tied the game.

“It’s a goal that can give us our permanence,” Lino admitted in a statement to Movistar after the match ended and after admitting that he was very emotional after scoring that goal in added time.
“I got a little excited, I think that goal still hasn’t saved us but it’s a very important goal, it gives us a very important point for the last game, we’re going to work to have a great game in the Betis field,” he said. .
“It has been a very suffered game, we had to run a lot to get the tie. They have a lot of quality, they have gone 1-2 and the goal gives us a very important point ”, he concluded.
