Goal.com rates the players on show in the dramatic late draw that saw Los Che denied three points as Lolo struck in the 92nd minute after Albelda's costly mistake

By Roger Gonzalez

  • Andrés Fernández

    2.50

    Andrés Fernández

    Beaten by Soldado late, but produced a great effort in attempt to save. Had nothing to do for the majority of the game in a boring appearance.

  • Marc Bertrán
    3

    3.00

    Marc Bertrán

    The veteran defender's only real action was an elbow to the head of Jordi Alba, for which he received a yellow card. He had a couple clearances and quality passes forward, but little else.

  • Sergio
    3
    2
    2.50

    Sergio

    Was calm when under pressure, but with Valencia's attack non-existent for the most part, he was mainly a spectator.

  • Miguel Flaño
    3
    2
    3.00

    Miguel Flaño

    The top defender in the air, Flano managed to thump various crosses from the wing, while also sticking to Soldado, not allowing the attacker much space in the middle.

  • Satrústegui
    3
    1
    2.50

    Satrústegui

    The youngster was beaten many times by Feghouli down the wing, failing to match the speed of the Valencia man. His focus looked poor, but he managed to improve as the game went on.

  • Álvaro Cejudo
    4
    1
    3.00

    Álvaro Cejudo

    Rugged and tough in the middle, ruining a few Valencia counterattacks with robust challenges. Was booked in the first half for a poor foul.

  • Patxi Puñal
    3
    2
    3.00

    Patxi Puñal

    Contributed little but made no major mistakes. He cut off a few long passes that were aimed to Soldado, also playing well while moving forward. Overall solid, though called upon little.

  • Raúl García
    3
    3
    3.00

    Raúl García

    Took a few ambitious efforts, none of which resulted to much, while also arguing with Albelda in a midfield tussle. Never really made an impact.

  • Javad Nekounam
    28
    9
    2.50

    Javad Nekounam

    The Iranian was hardly noticeable in the contest until a fantastic free kick early in the second half that Alves saved. Was taken off in the second half with an injury.

  • Roland Lamah
    3
    2
    2.50

    Roland Lamah

    The fast Belgian was not involved for most of the game, finally getting into the action late in the first half with a low shot on goal before coming off early in the second period.

  • Dejan Lekic
    4
    4
    2.50

    Dejan Lekic

    Nearly won a penalty after a collision with Alves, falling in the box, but it was not awarded. That's all he did in the game, as he continues to struggle in Pamplona.

Substitutions

  • Manuel Ortiz Toribio
    11
    4
    3.00

    Manuel Ortiz Toribio Top of the Match

    Came on with just over 10 minutes to go and made Valencia pay. Was attentive to put home the rebound in the 92nd minute. Did his job well to ruin Valencia's Sunday.

  • Timor
    4
    1
    0.00

    Timor

    Was on the receiving end of the crunching tackle by Albelda that received a red card.

  • Nino
    3
    1
    2.50

    Nino

    Had over 25 minutes on the pitch and contributed with passes wide and forward but was not the threat the crowd had hoped for.

  • Diego Alves
    12
    4
    3.50

    Diego Alves

    The former Almeria man should have done better with his clearance in the first half that nearly resulted in a penalty kick. In the second period, he was much better, stopping Garcia and Nekounam with saves at the last second.

  • Barragán
    4
    5
    2.00

    Barragán

    Not a good showing from the defender. Made poor clearances and just looked a step too slow while attacking. Valencia clearly missed Miguel.

  • Adil Rami
    10
    3
    3.00

    Adil Rami

    The French defender asserted himself with his strength, fighting off numerous attackers, while also playing lovely passes forward. One of the top players in the match.

  • Dealbert
    4
    7
    2.00

    Dealbert

    The Spaniard looked lost at times, perhaps distracted by the uneventful contest. His marking was off, as was his energy.

  • Jordi Alba
    6
    4
    2.50

    Jordi Alba

    The Barcelona target would surely liked to have been involved more. His skills were not utilised down the wing as Valencia looked to play down the opposite flank.

  • Sofiane Feghouli
    7
    4
    3.00

    Sofiane Feghouli

    The French winger showed spurts of quality, but as usual, he was not consistent, disappearing at times. More of a threat in the first half than the second, failing to create anything of note.

  • Albelda
    8
    11
    2.00

    Albelda Flop of the Match

    Irritated Osasuna but is the reason his team departed with one point instead of three. Received a red card late for a horrific tackle, one that resulted in the free kick that led to Lolo's goal.

  • Ever Banega
    7
    3
    2.50

    Ever Banega

    The Argentine did not make much of an impact, being subbed off early in the second half for Aduriz. He was slow on the ball and just lacked energy.

  • Tino Costa
    8
    2
    2.00

    Tino Costa

    With everything lacking in attack, Costa sprayed some long passes forward, the majority of which were perfect, but his team-mates couldn't capitalise until Soldado finished from his cross.

  • Jonas
    6
    5
    2.50

    Jonas

    Subbed off in the second half alongside Banega for his uneventful performance. Had one shot that went out for a corner, but otherwise, not a key player.

  • Roberto Soldado
    12
    3
    3.00

    Roberto Soldado

    Scored a late header for his second goal away from home in this league season. Did what he had to do but was irrelevant for 89 minutes.

Substitutions

  • Bruno
    2
    5
    0.00

    Bruno

    Came in late to help in defence but didn't have a chance to make much of an impact.

  • Juan Bernat
    4
    3
    2.50

    Juan Bernat

    The young player came on in the second half and won a free kick with a nice move, then won the throw that led to the goal. Decent appearance.

  • Aritz Aduriz Zubeldia
    3
    4
    2.50

    Aritz Aduriz Zubeldia

    Looking to work with Soldado as a substitute, he did absolutely nothing in his 35 minutes.
