What a dominant performance by Rayo Vallecano at Estadio de Vallecas! They completely outplayed Las Palmas, securing a convincing 2-0 victory.
Rayo Vallecano controlled the game, holding 53% of the possession. They were sharp in attack, racking up 13 shots, 7 on target, and keeping Las Palmas's offense at bay with some clever defensive work. Las Palmas, despite some early pressure, struggled to find the back of the net. Their efforts were hampered by a frustrating 47% possession and 4 shots on goal.
The game was fairly even in the first half with no goals scored. Then, in the second half, Rayo Vallecano's game-changing substitutions in the 69th and 77th minutes really set the tone. Antoñín Cortés's goal in the 58th minute opened the scoring, and Bebé's goal in the 87th minute secured the win. Bebé was a key figure throughout the game.
The most exciting moments came in the final stages. It was a nail-biting finish, with a few yellow cards from both sides. Las Palmas's substitutes tried to make a late comeback but Rayo Vallecano's defense held strong.
Both teams approached the match with different strategies. Rayo Vallecano seemed to employ a more aggressive, possession-based approach. In contrast, Las Palmas' strategy seemed to focus on sporadic attacks. Overall, Rayo Vallecano deserved the win. A fantastic performance showcasing their dominance!
