Rayo Vallecano started the LaLiga season with a loss in the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium against Sevilla. The Andalusian team's victory was due to a penalty in the 90+4 minute. The Vallecas team had a goal disallowed and couldn't equalize.
What happened?
The game started with a delay due to a problem with the new ball that was going to be used. However, once the game started, Rayo Vallecano made a perfect start, opening the score in less than four minutes thanks to a comical defense by Sevilla. A mix-up between Arouna Sangante and Odysseas Vlachodimos on the edge of the box allowed Alvaro García to steal possession and poke the ball into an empty net.
Why it matters for Rayo Vallecano?
The loss in the LaLiga debut is a hard blow for the Vallecas team. The lack of ability to equalize the score in the game shows that there is still work to be done in the season.
