The clash between Rayo Vallecano and Club Atlético Osasuna set the tone for a crucial stretch in Spain’s top flight, played at the Vallecas home ground. The home side delivered a victory that kept them level on points with Athletic Club, sitting in seventh place after a 2-1 triumph.
Here are the essential moments and key details from Rayo Vallecano versus Osasuna.
In the cap title of absences, Florian Lejeune could not feature for Andoni Iraola following the direct red card he received against Atlético de Madrid the previous Sunday. On Osasuna’s bench, Jagoba Arrasate was without Darko Brasanac, who is out for the season due to a cruciate ligament injury sustained against Elche. Rubén García and Chimy Ávila were also sidelined by muscle problems, limiting options for both managers in this important encounter.
