Less-Attacking Valencia Held To A Draw By Newly-Promoted Huesca

Valencia is held in a stalemate at Mestalla by newly-promoted Huesca on La Liga matchday 2 to take 4 points out of 9 available in the La Liga fixtures.

Valencia's early season troubles continued as they could only draw 1-1 at home to a promoted Huesca on Saturday.

Daniel Wass gave Javi Gracia's men the lead against the run of play shortly before halftime when his free kick from way out, meant as a cross, went straight into the far corner of the net, evading the touch of defenders and attackers alike.

Huesca, who had been playing the more intelligent and imaginative football, kept their composure and continued to test goalkeeper Jaume Domenech and finally beat him with a looping header from Greek defender Dimitris Siovas in the 63rd.

Valencia, who were beaten 2-1 at Celta Vigo last week and parted with several key players over the summer, have four points from their opening three games while Huesca has two.

After the game, Valencia coach, Javi Gracia, "We are working on feeling better and our aspiration is to improve game after game".
