Tight Derby Draw: Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano Share Points
Real Madrid failed to secure first place in La Liga as they were held to a goalless draw by Rayo Vallecano at home. Rayo aimed to extend their unbeaten league streak to eight games and avoid a loss at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, something they had not experienced since 2000.
The match began with a strong start from the home team, with Fran Garcia, a former Rayo player, firing a shot over the bar and Joselu forcing an impressive save from Rayo goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski before the half-time break.
Real Madrid attempted to increase their momentum in the second half, while Rayo fought hard to secure a point away from home. Real Madrid will now turn their attention to a home fixture against Sporting Braga in the Champions League, as a victory over the Portuguese side would secure their place in the last 16 in 2024. Meanwhile, Rayo will host league leaders Girona in their upcoming match. Please note that the image is sourced from Getty Images.
