Shkodran Mustafi and Valencia have passed up an opportunity to put themselves in a good position to progress after drawing the first leg of their quarter. In the Mestalla, the home side could only manage a 1-1 draw with fellow Primera División side Las Palmas, leaving the side from the Canary Islands favourites for the return leg.
Valencia played quite well, but went behind after 38 minutes and Gary Neville’s anxiety was notable which is hardly surprising as the English manager is yet to win a league game since taking over in December. Paco Alcacer got his side the equaliser in the 61st minute.
Mustafi showed a strong performance and didn’t make any mistakes. After having muscle discomfort in recent months, he looks to be fully fit again.
