Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Rayo Vallecano de Madrid and RC Celta de Vigo get this one started.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RC Celta de Vigo that had 336 games and scored 389 goals.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 25' Ivory Coast international Jonathan Bamba has been a key figure this campaign — 4 goals and 3 assists in the Array this season.
- 30' Rayo Vallecano de Madrid are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 35' 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.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. RC Celta de Vigo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Unai Nunez, as he is very good at scoring at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 46' Jorge de Frutos is replacing Oscar Trejo for the Rayo Vallecano de Madrid side.
- 51' It looks surprising Rayo Vallecano de Madrid does not make any changes. Oscar Valentin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' 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 Bebe suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 65' The crowd applauds Jonathan Bamba as he leaves the pitch. Franco Cervi steps in for RC Celta de Vigo.
- 68' The referee shows Rayo Vallecano de Madrid player a Yellow card on 68.

- 72' Another change for RC Celta de Vigo made on 72 minute. Anastasios Douvikas leaves to be changed by Iago Aspas.
- 73' That is a Yellow card for Rayo Vallecano de Madrid. Unai Lopez will be fuming at that decision.
- 78' RC Celta de Vigo come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 82' The Rayo Vallecano de Madrid bench stirs into life. Ivan Balliu is withdrawn and Jose Pozo gets his opportunity.
- 83' A moment of madness from Pathe Ciss on 83 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Rayo Vallecano de Madrid will be frustrated.
- 85' Bebe has so much to prove this time. He replaces Isi Palazon on 85 minute.
- 88' A change in the RC Celta de Vigo ranks — Fran Beltran exits the field as Carlos Dotor enters on 88.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
