Valencia's drought at home is over. Just in time to boost the team's chances in the Champions League.
Valencia beat Young Boys 3-1 on Wednesday for its first win in seven matches at its Mestalla Stadium, keeping alive its hopes of advancing to the knockout stages of the European competition.
The victory Valencia's third overall this season left the Spanish team with five points in Group H, four behind leader Juventus and two behind Manchester United, which beat Juventus 2-1 later Wednesday in Turin.
Swiss champion Young Boys, on debut in the group stage, remained on one point and was already out of contention.
"It was a decisive match for us," said Valencia forward Santi Mina, who scored twice in the first half.
"These three points are important and we are more alive than ever. We know it's all in our hands now. If we win the last two matches we will advance."
"I dreamed I'd play here and score in this competition. Now I have."
