Valencia CF vs Athletic Club

Valencia failed to win at Mestalla again on Saturday, drawing 0-0 with Athletic Club in a game they had the better chances to settle. Unai Simón was the reason it stayed level. There were no goals, so the talking points were the misses. Daniel Wass is not in the sources, so the first real scare came when Guido Rodríguez headed a set piece and Simón clawed it away, only for the effort to be ruled out for a foul. After the break Danjuma ran at Simón and hit the post. Javi Guerra had a shot saved in the 70th minute after a move involving Rioja and Gayà, and substitute Otorbi was denied with the goal open when Johaneko blocked his effort. Dimitrievski kept Valencia level with a save from Iñaki Williams, and Robert Navarro also went close for the visitors. It was Javier Aguirre's first league game in the dugout. Valencia are second from bottom on 6 points, with one league win and none at home in five. Athletic have 9 points and still have the suspended Vallecas game to finish.
