Forward DaniRaba made his scoring debut for Valencia in the League by scoring 70 seconds into his first game with the team, in a 2-2 draw against Racing de Santander at El Sardinero. The goal, which gave him the early lead, was the first he scored in the competition with the Valencian shirt, after having arrived at the club in the summer of 2025 from Leganés.
Raba opened the scoring by taking advantage of a loose ball inside the area. After dribbling past Belocian and beating Aguirrezabala, the Santander striker managed a shot that slipped into the corner of the goal. With that goal, the player got his first point in the League with Valencia, although his first appearance with the team was just seven minutes into this season, after having participated in 13 games last season.
Raba's goal in the League dates back to his last score in the first division in May 2025, when he scored the goal that gave Leganés the victory during their visit to Las Palmas. That was his best campaign in the category, with eight goals in total. The goal against Racing also became the earliest goal recorded by Valencia in recent years, surpassing the club's second-fastest score, which was Daniel Wass's in the 2nd minute in 2019.
The club's all-time record still belongs to SeydouKeita, who scored after 7.6 seconds against Almería in March 2014. With this goal, Raba joins a select group of players who have scored quickly in the League and promises to be a key element in Valencia's attack in the upcoming games.
