After 35 minutes of an end-to-end game, Valencia take the lead against reeling Madrid. Both sides have had chances so far, but the pressure from Valencia has put them ahead.
Kluivert waited patiently at the end of the box and turned to send the ball low across the box towards Lopez. It bounced under a defender's boot, but Lopez was there and slotted it past Courtois.
It is the forward's first La Liga goal and gives Valencia the first step towards a crucial three points to keep them out of the drop zone.
Madrid have had chances too but haven't excecuted with their usual precision and have been punished for it.
