Falcao and Rayo frustrate Atlético Madrid

After the draw between Getafe and Bilbao earlier in the evening, the 10th day of La Liga continued this Tuesday evening with an opposition between Atlético Madrid and Rayo Vallecano for a nice derby in the Spanish capital. And in this little game, the tenants of the Cívitas Metropolitano left feathers despite the opening of the score of Alvaro Morata on a pass from the Frenchman Antoine Griezmann (20th). The tricolor international even thought to offer himself an achievement at the end of the meeting on a strike with the right foot but the referee Javier Iglesias Villanueva finally signaled him offside (80th). Despite everything, Andoni Iraola’s men fired fourteen times but never proved to be realistic or dangerous, until added time. On a hand from Jose Gimenez, the former Monegasque, Radamel Falcao converted a penalty, allowing Rayo to grab the draw (1-1).

In the standings, the Colchoneros remain in their 3rd place behind Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Rayo Vallecano grabbed a precious point in the underbelly of the championship with its discreet 10th position. This weekend, Diego Simeone’s players will travel to Seville to play Betis, while their opponents this Tuesday evening will host the Andalusians of Cadiz for the 11th day of La Liga.
