The dream of the EuroLight has no end

There is nothing dreamlike about the dream of Lightning. It’s more than real. The franjirrojos continue unstoppable in Vallecas, where they have only let two points escape so far in the league and they did not even have to resort to Tiger Falcao, fresh from an injury and in the rear of the bench. There is no one who coughs up the people of Madrid, who wakes them up, because those of Iraola have no roof. They have earned the right to dream big and this win against Mallorca, which made up the score at the last gasp, returns them to sixth place, with the Champions League within three points. The goals of Guardiola, Álvaro and Trejo gave the finishing touch to some vermilions that chain their sixth day without winning.

El Rayo knows the role by heart. He does not hesitate. It is a perfectly oiled machine. And although Mallorca came out without complexes – neither the numerous casualties nor the bad streak intimidated them – with Kang-In Lee as the main stiletto, the danger was in charge of the franjirrojos. The locals only needed three touches to disturb Reina, but Sergi Guardiola’s shot, a pass from Álvaro, went wide. The pressure and the pace were high, like the decibels of those who braved the cold and the rain to warm their people. The reward came when a masterful Comesaña cut Antonio Sánchez and put it into space to an accurate Guardiola, whose cross shot slipped between Maffeo and Reina to open the scoring at a quarter of an hour.

Of course, the party did not stop. After five minutes, the Vallecano fans were raging again. This time it was Trejo who watched Álvaro and he culminated an extraordinary ride, beating Reina in hand-to-hand. Twenty minutes had not elapsed when Rayo already commanded the game, removing the thorn from what they experienced last season. Then, in that same period of time, the vermilions had endorsed them three goals. That was Second and, what life is, now the song of ‘next year Rayo-Liverpool’ sounds truer than ever and as beautiful as ever.

Antonio Sánchez and Kang-In Lee tried to revive the visitors – unsuccessfully – but Dimitrievski calmly put down any outbreak of fire. While Reina miraculously emerged unscathed from a flurry of shots fired by Isi and Balliu. To the point that Figueroa Vázquez annulled Catena’s 3-0 due to a (doubtful) lack of the central defender on the rival goalkeeper. The first half expired with a kick from outside the area of ​​Kang-In Lee, which ended outside.

The second act was lacking spice … And it came with a surprising change (Luis García removed Kang-In, the most active and decisive man in the island team) and with the spike between Oliván and Guardiola that ended with a yellow for each. Aside from that, Ray was still hungry and resulted in several auctions, one from the crown of the area of ​​Trejo who blocks Reina, another from Guardiola who takes the Majorcan rear under sticks and another one hand in hand from the striker who disrupts the goalkeeper.

The vermilions trusted their green shoots to Angel’s push, but they soon withered. As soon as Valjent committed a penalty on Guardiola, thanks to a clear grab. There, from eleven meters, Trejo threw class and scored at the Doll. The meeting was entertaining until the end. The referee again annulled a goal to the Strip, to Álvaro to be exact, for an offside. And when it seemed that all the fish was sold, Abdon cut distances with a left foot. The fate of the newly promoted has two faces: the happiness of the Strip contrasts with the helplessness of the island people. And the permanence begins to know little for a Ray that not only excites, also falls in love.
