A La Liga clash quietly played out at the crack of dawn on Tuesday. Sporting Madrid beat Valencia 1-0 on the road thanks to a solo shot from substitute Kevin Kishavin. Although Sporting Madrid had recently asked Kishavin to take a pay cut, the French star flatly refused, and in this match he has demonstrated his value in action.
In the course of the match, the club showed a strong desire to attack and dominated the field. However, Valencia's goalkeeper, Mamadashuviani, was a hero, saving six dangerous shots, including a certain goal by Ewalu Morada.
When the game reached the 64th minute, Marco Schmoney decided to bring in Kishavin to boost the team's offense, and the 31-year-old striker scored after only two minutes of play, becoming the key man for the team to get all three points.
In this season's La Liga, Kishavin has only made 3 appearances, but has contributed 2 goals, showing good form. The club had previously asked him to reduce his annual salary from 12 million euros to 8.4 million euros, but considering Kishavin's contribution to the team, it is believed that the club will eventually give up this unreasonable request.
Meanwhile, another La Liga match was going on. Bilbao beat Cádiz 4-0 away from home, with substitute Gurusda scoring two solo goals in a solo show.
