The Madrid team, whose fans were devoted from the very beginning, came on the field with better equipment than their opponents, and this was reflected very clearly from the first minute. Cross shot by Santi Comesaña A shot went into the goal of Argentinian Paulo Gazzaniga, who went from the right wing.

Rayo dominated Girona in the first third of the first half, and the fruit of that dominance was rewarded when he invented a game that ended with Isi Palazón in the 23rd minute. Left kick to Gazzaniga’s right corner. The goal of the Madrid team, who left the counter goalless in 318 minutes, brought delusions to the stands and ended the drought.

Girona did not fall down and after just six minutes they were leveled after a good game that started with Rodrigo Riquelme’s center on the left and finished with a header by Taty Castellanos. Stole Dmitryevsky’s refusal fell on Viktor Tsygankovthe person who pushes the ball behind the net.

When your team needs you most Captain Oscar Trejo appeared in Rayo to invent the second goal after an individual game. The Argentine teamed up with a teammate to enter the small area and fire an unreachable cross for Gazzaniga after dodging two pointers.

This move gave way to afternoon nonsense and eccentricity. Arnau gave Álvaro García a penalty, and Trejo missed his eleven-metre shot and was cleared by Gazzaniga. A Girona defender who was inside the field at the time of throw caused the maximum penalty to be repeated. Trejo decided not to shoot straight. He chose to advance the ball gently, so the shot came from Isi Palazón, who lifted the ball over the crossbar.

Six minutes after the restart, Girona leveled the score. Javi Hernández crossed from the left wing. and again Tsygankov leveled the race with a shot from inside the small area, this time getting ahead of Catena.

Andoni Iraola looked for solutions that provided an introduction to Raúl De Tomás. however, the Madrid forward was absent as in the last games, not very participatory and his offensive position was never decisive.
