LA LIGA MATCH OF THE DAY RESULT | VALENCIA 1 FC BARCELONA 1

The big Round 13 Spanish Liga game between second placed VALENCIA CF & current leaders FC BARCELONA finished with a 1 - 1 final result. A match that had intensity & some very controversial moments & decisions, the main one being a disallowed goal (as in the image below) to Barça that was legal.

Just to remind readers LaLiga has´nt VAR & will introduce next season, but the image illustrates the need to introduce the technology as quackly as possible. This erroneous decision cost FC Barcelona a victory & another 2 points.  

The game was very serious & tactical as one can expect from the two currently most inform teams. Valencia CF had the advantage of the home support that stirred them on. Even in their most complex moments, when tiredness came into the teams equation, the local crowd gave Valencia wings. It was evident in the last 5 mins of the match when Valencia looked for the victory & had the victory in their grasp had Zaza not missed an obvious opportunity in front of goal.

Although Valencia played well, in my opinion, Barça was better in general managing the more complicated moments of the match. Lionel Messi was determinate again & from his boot came the pass that found Jordi Alba to score the equalizer.
