Moments after scoring his second penalty in as many games, Valencia CF's Carlos Soler gave his opinions on the 1-1 draw with Granada CF.

"We came here to take the three points, but in the end we leave with one point, which is ok bearing in mind how the game went," said Soler.

"I think that in the first half we were the better side; maybe not in terms of our play, but we did have many chances and didn't deserve to be trailing at halftime. In the second half they had their chances as well. In the end, with the penalty we made it 1-1, and we're on 4 points and still unbeaten. We will try to make it 7 points before the international break."

Conceding early was a blow for the team, and something that the goalscorer hopes will be rectified.

"We do not like to go behind, and even less in this type of game, in which it is very difficult to turn things around, but we reacted quite well. We must improve so that we don't have to react and go straight after the opposition."

Up next is a game at Mestalla, next Friday against Deportivo Alavés.

"It would be important to take three points in the next home game. It is what we always want. We have a competitive match against Alavés. We will try to take the three points to go have seven before the international break, which would be very good news.""
