Deportivo Alavés defeated Valencia CF 1-0 in a tense and hard-fought match at the Estadio de Mendizorroza in Vitoria-Gasteiz on May 14th, 2025, corresponding to matchday 36 of La Liga. Valencia dominated possession (58%) and created more scoring chances (10 shots to Alavés’ 11), but it was the home side’s efficiency that proved decisive. A penalty converted by Joan Jordan in the 79th minute was the difference in the scoreline. The game was characterized by its intensity, with a total of eight yellow cards shown to both teams: three to Alavés (Garces, Protesoni, Jordan and Mourino) and two to Valencia (Duro and Mamardashvili). Despite Valencia’s territorial dominance, Alavés’ defense held firm, and the visitors’ lack of clinical finishing prevented a different outcome. Alavés, with 42% possession, managed 5 shots on target, while Valencia only had 3.
