The match started at a frenetic pace, with both teams throwing players forward in search of an early goal. Real Madrid dominated possession, as was to be expected, but Rayo Vallecano was resolute in defense, and they managed to create a few chances themselves.
Against the run of play, it was Rayo Vallecano who took the lead just before half-time. Unai López fired a low shot into the bottom corner after a clever through ball from Isi Palazón. The stadium erupted in a frenzy of noise, and I couldn't believe my eyes. We were actually ahead against Real Madrid!
Real Madrid came out in the second half looking for an equalizer, and they found it just a few minutes after the restart. Federico Valverde scored with a well-taken volley after a cross from Toni Kroos. However, Rayo Vallecano remained undeterred, and they continued to press their opponents relentlessly.
Just when it seemed like Real Madrid were starting to take control of the match, Rayo Vallecano struck again. Abdul Mumin rose highest to head home a corner and send the stadium into raptures once more. The noise was deafening, and the ground shook beneath my feet.
Real Madrid refused to give up, and they eventually equalized for the second time thanks to a goal from Rodrygo. The Brazilian showed great skill to control a long ball from Casemiro and finish past the goalkeeper.
