Rayo ends 5-game run without win
Print Edition
Rayo Vallecano won 1-0 at Getafe’s foggy Alfonso Perez Coliseum yesterday to end a five-game streak without a win in the Spanish league.
Rayo, which remained in the relegation zone, has now won all five of the league derbies between the Spanish capital’s smaller clubs. Alberto Bueno scored what proved to be the winner in the 29th minute after Alejandro Galvez was quick to cross a rebounded shot.
Rayo’s defenders blocked two shots on the goal line in the final minutes to ensure mid-table Getafe its fourth league loss in a row.
On Saturday, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona showed the battle for the title would be a long, drawn-out affair after the co-leaders drew 0-0 in their first league meeting of the season.
Both teams finished the first half of the season tied on 50 points after an exciting, back-and-forth showdown at Vicente Calderon Stadium yielded no winner.
Barcelona was troubled by Atletico pair Diego Costa and Arda Turan throughout, while second-half substitute Lionel Messi enjoyed the visitors’ best chances as the Barcelona forward headed wide before forcing goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois into a clutch stop in the 81st.
Neymar also came on in the second half for Barcelona but the Brazil striker made little impact as the teams played out their third straight draw following the summer Spanish Super Cup series.
Also, Athletic Bilbao maintained its grip on fourth by demolishing Almeria 6-1 while Valencia’s season-long slide continued with a 2-1 defeat at Celta Vigo. Daniel Carrico scored in the last minute as Sevilla rallied to draw 1-1 at Elche.
