Wow, what a game! Las Palmas and Rayo Vallecano battled to a thrilling 1-1 draw at Estadio de Gran Canaria in a match full of suspense and late drama.
Both teams came out looking to dominate possession. Las Palmas had a 50% ball possession percentage, with 6 shots outside the box and 5 shots inside the box. Rayo Vallecano had a similar 50% possession percentage, with 6 shots outside the box and 7 shots inside the box. However, Las Palmas managed a higher shot conversion rate, with one shot finding the back of the net. Rayo Vallecano managed two shots on target and missed a penalty opportunity before finding the net once.
The match was very much in the balance until the 87th minute, when Sergio Ruiz popped up to score for Las Palmas, snatching a dramatic victory from the jaws of defeat. But Rayo Vallecano weren't ready to concede. In a tense final few minutes, Óscar Trejo scored for Rayo with a penalty in the 42nd minute.
The substitutes played a key role in the second half, changing the complexion of the game in each team's favour. The yellow card for Ale Díez in the early stages of the game, along with five offsides for Rayo, added to the excitement.
This was a real test of resilience for both teams, proving that the Segunda Division is anything but predictable. A great match to watch!
