Hugo Duro scored at 90 + 2 and 90 + 6, to decree the final 3-3 at the Mestalla Stadium.
The Atlético de Madrid let a game that won 1-3 escape from Mestalla in the 90th minute, after the faith of Valencia led him to neutralize the visitors advantage in added time, with two goals from Hugo Duro (3-3).

The result of that intensity came the first problem for Atlético with Trippier’s early injury, who damaged his shoulder after a bad fall in a foul by Valencian Hélder Costa.
Atlético arrived well to the front of the Valencian area, but without being able to complete the plays until the Uruguayan Luis Suárez beat Cillessen, after easily overcoming Diakhaby with a cross shot that hit the post in minute 35.
At the start of the second half, a header from Griezmann was close to increasing the advantage of the Madrid team, but it was Valencia who managed to establish the matched at minute 50, with a Savic’s own goal, after a shot by Guedes in the area that Oblak cleared.
But the joy did not last long for the Valencianists because In minute 57, Griezmann scored a great goal from outside the area and two minutes later, and after a confused play and VAR query, Vrsaljko made the third.
The goals were a hard blow for the Valencians, who did not have the same fortune as the rival in the next action, when Wass crashed a ball on the crossbar in a shot very close to Oblak’s goal.
José Bordalás’s team looked more for the area of an Atlético that, knowing its advantage, fell back well behind to go on the counter attack and increase its advantage.
In the final stretch the Valencian team pressed what it had not done throughout much of the crash. A) Yes, Hugo Duro closed the gap on the scoreboard in the second minute of added time, after taking advantage of an error by Kondogbia in a rojiblanco attack.
With Mestalla erupting and Valencia overturned, the ecstasy reached the stands with another goal from Hugo Duro in 96 that prevented the athletic triumph and left at least one point in Mestalla.
With this result, Atlético de Madrid remains fourth in the table with 23 points. Meanwhile, Valencia is tenth with 17 units. (D)
