Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas!
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ivan Balliu suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Radamel Falcao is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Rayo Vallecano de Madrid.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Denis Suarez made 517 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 23' RC Celta de Vigo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Augusto Solari is hanging Santi Mina on the field on 23 minute.
- 28' Rayo Vallecano de Madrid currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 33' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 38' Iago Aspas has been relatively quiet despite scoring 111 goals in his last 126 appearances.
- 43' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 45' RC Celta de Vigo receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 50' Both keepers have barely been tested. Rayo Vallecano de Madrid and RC Celta de Vigo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 51' Augusto Solari has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 51.
- 52' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Augusto Solari.
- 57' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
