With a resounding 2-0 victory over a Cadiz team that played the most of the game with 10 men, Valencia ended a four-game losing skid in the Spanish league. José Gayà's beautiful chip gave Valencia the lead after just four minutes. After Cadiz's Robert Navarro received a red card in the 22nd minute, the hosts' Hugo Duro scored a second goal three minutes later.
Hugo Duro scored from close range in the 25th minute to give Los Che the lead right away. The outcome was never in question, despite Cadiz's strong second-half performance and several scoring chances. Valencia moved up to seventh position with their first victory in the league since the middle of September. With nine points from 10 games, Cadiz has gone six games without a victory and is now seated in 16th position. On Saturday, Cadiz hosts Sevilla, while the following day, Valencia travels to Athletic Bilbao.
