The first came from a penalty kick awarded to their striker, who had been fouled by the defender. The second goal was scored by their midfielder, who received the ball from his teammate and dribbled past two defenders before slotting home.
Overall, it was a fantastic display from Valencia, who showed great skill and teamwork on the field. Their victory helped them move closer to securing a top-four finish in the league table. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg's victory puts them in a strong position to secure a Europa League spot.
