Valencia began life without star duo David Villa and David Silva with a convincing 3-1 win over Málaga at La Rosaleda.
Aritz Aduriz, signed from Real Mallorca this summer to help fill the gap left by Villa, headed Valencia ahead after nine minutes before Málaga equalised on the stroke of half-time through Sebastián Fernández.
Joaquín then took centre-stage by bagging a second-half brace to ensure all three points for Unai Emery's troops.
