Rayo and Girona share the points before the break

Ray and Girona they tied the knot Vallecas in a very special fight for the return of Michael in what has been his home all his life. Anything can happen but both have to share a cake that doesn’t please anyone.

The meeting started at the expected script. The pressure took the reins on the green and was the main reason that both teams were uncomfortable in the game. It was difficult for Girona to have continuity in the first minutes, as a result of the intensity of those Iraola carried out in places close to the goal of Gazzaniga.

The side box enjoyed the clearest in the first half, especially on the right wing, but that was not the side where the can opened. Isi has always been a headache for the Catalan team, is pulling back from the fatal outcome in the play-off final. He scored in the first leg and will not miss his stamp on the return. The winger invented a run that ended with a strike from outside the area that was impossible for Gazzaniga. Cobwebs, locals strike first.

The reaction of the Catalans did not wait. Tsygankov read again after catching a deflection off Taty Castellanos’ header. Catena did not see this, seeing how the Ukrainian was not noticed as the smartest in the class.

This is indirect punishment

Everyone is at the party. It began to take on a form more typical of a night than a football game., as the blows followed mercilessly in the Vallecas ring. Trejo, who had warned a few minutes before, took advantage of the mistake in the mark of David López and Oriol Romeu. If the Argentine is given a meter of space, Vallecana stands to sing. And so it was, hit, crossed and returned to evict the spiders rebuilding their house after the first eviction promoted by Isi.

The half hour was not reached without another blow, accidental and caused by a slip, from Arnau to Álvaro García in the area. The luck does not want to be primed with visitors and Gazzaniga saved the penalty Trejo launched, but VAR sent the Argentine back to the penalty spot due to Riquelme’s early entry into the area. Here comes the most surprising. Trejo shoots, but misses the goal. He stepped on the ball to give it to Isi and surprise the entire Vallecas Stadium. Cieza’s man sent it into the clouds and the rojiblancos, dressed in camouflage for the occasion, were once again saved.

Michael He was the first to admit his mistake in not making changes to their play in the last fight. This was not the case with Vallecas, where he reacted immediately when the second half began with the entries of Javi Hernandez and Tony Villa. Both players responded perfectly to the demands of the match and it was no surprise that the second goal came from that side after Javi’s cross. A Ukrainian reappeared in the place of Dimitrevsky to define with amazing simplicity and win double.

It was then that Girona began to gain more prominence on the ball and have their best combined minutes. El Rayo, for their part, took chances with the departure of Trejo and the entry of Raúl de Tomás, paired with Camello, although not for many minutes, as Iraola realized that they had lost popularity.

The passage of minutes hurt the local team more, which began to stop winning duels and to stop having the opportunity to press the offensive zone due to Girona’s possession. Borja Garcia, oriole romeu and ivan martin they dominated the midfield and minimized the raider’s danger in the first half point.

Mistakes combined with good defensive performances left no room for clear chances in the final minutes, except for a shot from rainier in a small place. That and a penalty conceded by Girona through the hand of Salvi in ​​the 95th match ended the clash which shared a point apiece before going into the national team break.
