Gutsy performance by Valencia. Today Valencia showed that what almost worked is tactical Football and NRSCs money and national team players dont necessarily get them success. Cheer up Valencia u guys have shown us the way foward. I once again am starting to believe with the scenes from the Stadium from the supporters and players and officialz todat that Maldivian Club football is not dead. Hope hope Valencia
