Valencia, Spain, Nov 2: Valencia striker Jonas scored the second fastest goal in Champions League history Tuesday and his team added two more in the second half to beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 in Group E.
The Brazilian scored after 10 seconds before Stefan Kiesling equalized for Leverkusen with a 31st-minute header.
Valencia kept alive its hopes of reaching the knockout stages—it would have had little chance without a victory—thanks to goals from striker Roberto Soldado in the 65th and defender Adil Rami in the 75th.
Valencia sits only one point behind its German opponent with two games to play. Chelsea and Genk are also in the group.
