There is no easy game. That’s the saying of many coaches and I’m sure that if Francisco Rodríguez doesn’t use it he will from now on. Yeclano deserved to surprise and leave their Rayo Vallecano, but good work by Cárdenas between the posts and a strike from Falcao in the 89th minute gave them a ticket to the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey (0 -2).
The Murcian team came out with a knife between their teeth. Nor did he notice the three categories of difference that separated him from those from Vallecas. Yelcano’s previous locker room song, with the very stylish ‘Sarà perché ti amo’, provided extra energy and, where it didn’t reach, a field full of lips.
Rayo wanted to dominate, as the favorite, but his cool assets did not drive away a Yeclano who stood like a fable on the green and his ideas were clear: steal, run and shoot. It’s worth it. While Baby showed the incompetence of Francisco’s team, which did not worry Sergio Díaz, Cárdenas on the other side of the field began to look like a hero.
Especially in the second half, where Yeclano even dominated a Rayo that did not go beyond the middle of the field. Especially brilliant was his save from Pedrosa, one of the best in the game, from a direct free kick.
The only problem for Adrián Hernández’s team was that the frenzy of the match played a trick on them. Yeclano got tired in the last few minutes and Rayo didn’t forgive that. Falcao’s experience was decisive in waiting for the ball where he needed it and scored with the first touch almost at the end (89′), giving time for Raúl de Tomás to score a great goal (94′) that leave an unfair score for a Yeclano who If he continues like this he will give his people a lot of joy.
