Real Madrid failed to score in the first meeting with Rayo Vallecano this season at the end of last year. They had to share the points in that match at the Santiago Bernabeu. On Sunday, the Madrid club took the lead in the 3 minutes at the Vaiecano field. But for the second time this season, Carlo Ancelotti’s team shared points with the team.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw at the Estadio de Viecas. Both goals were scored in the first half. Real is at the top with 62 points from 25 matches. However, their gap with second-placed Girona (56) has narrowed to six points. Barcelona is third with 54 points. Girona, with a game in hand, face Athletic Bilbao on Monday.
Real celebrate the goal shortly after the opening whistle. Joselu rattled the net with a left-footed shot from the center of the box. Assisted by Federico Valverde. The goal came after a VAR review.
Real scored the goal before half an hour of the match clock. In the 24th minute, Eduardo Kamavinga handballed in the penalty area. Raul de Tomas made it 1-1 with a right-footed shot in the 27th minute from the penalty spot.
Later, both teams had two equal shots on target. But none were converted into goals. Rather, Real was in danger at the end. Dani Carvajal was sent off after a second yellow card in the fifth minute of added time. He came on as a substitute in the 75th minute and saw two yellow cards in the last two minutes. However, Real did not have to pay the price of playing with one less.
