MADRID, 22 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Rayo Vallecano has returned to European positions after defending its undefeated in Vallecas and thrashing this Monday, in the last match of the fourteenth day of LaLiga Santander, against RCD Mallorca (3-1), which links its sixth consecutive match without winning after a crash in which he was in tow at all times.
Exceeded just the quarter of an hour, Santi Comesaña offered a great pass to Sergi Guardiola, who crossed the ball to put it out of reach of Manolo Reina (min.16). Only three minutes later, in a new counterattack, Álvaro García defined perfectly before the departure of the vermilion goalkeeper to increase the income (min 19).
Reina still had to get a very dangerous shot from Balliu before the break, and the referee canceled another goal from the Rayista header, this time by Catena, for a foul on the goalkeeper. Kang-In Lee, on the brink of halftime, enjoyed the clearest chance for the Majorcan fans in a shot that brushed the post.
Andoni Iraola’s men continued to show their verticality in the resumption of the clash, in which they continued to harass the rival behind until in the 62nd Valjent grabbed Guardiola in the area and the referee decreed a penalty. Trejo, a la Panenka, made it 3-0.
Once again, Rayo saw how another offside by Álvaro García prevented the fourth from going up to the scoreboard, before Abdón Prats cut distances (min.88). However, nothing bothered the Vallecano team (23), which displaces FC Barcelona from sixth place and remains only three points behind the ‘Champions’ positions.
