Valencia confirmed top spot in their group after a 2-0 win over Olympiakos. The Spaniards were already sure of a place in the next round before the game began, but the Greek side still had a remote chance of qualifying, and Cañizares had to be at his best to keep out a Rivaldo shot early on. Both sides lost their front men to injury in the first twenty minutes, and Maric came on for the visitors to test Cañizares once again with a long free kick. But Nikopolidis did well to save a David Silva header, and with the first half coming to a close Angulo picked up a return pass from Curro Torres following a throw in, and struck an angled shot wide of the keeper.

Within a minute of the restart Valencia were two up,David Villa's replacement Morientes squeezing between two defenders on the far post to head home David Silva's cross. It was his fifth goal in the competition this season, taking him level at the top of the goalscorers' chart with Drogba and Kaká. The locals could have added to their lead after that, Zewlakow clearing off the line from Joaquín, Nikopolidis saving again from Silva and Joaquín almost catching the keeper off his line with a wide free kick which struck the upright. But Quique Flore's side had done more than enough to win, and they can now visit Roma for their last match knowing that nothing is at stake, for them at least.
