Santiago Comesaña scored the 1-0 in favor of Rayo Vallecano over Real Madrid for LaLiga Santander | VIDEO

Real Madrid has been surprised by the initial pressure from Rayo Vallecano. Due to the intensity, ‘Franjirrojos’ scored 1-0 in the first minutes of the match for LaLiga Santander before the hubbub of their fans at the Vallecas Stadium.

At 5 ‘, Fran García was projected through the right sector and sent a center to the merengue box area. In that place, Santiago Comesaña was alone and Luka Modric went to mark him, however, it was in vain since the player finished off in the first instance.

The footballer placed in the ball in the far part of Thibaut Courtois and thus, Rayo Vallecano opened the scoring. Now, the cast led by Carlo Ancelotti will have to react to score the tie.

It is important to mention that, with the partial result, Real Madrid would remain in second place with 32 units and two points behind the leader Barcelona. It is worth mentioning that they will clash against Cádiz on Thursday and then the Spanish tournament will be paralyzed due to the 2022 World Cup.

Real Madrid vs. Rayo Vallecano: match preview

A rising Rayo Vallecano puts the improvement of Real Madrid to the test, which reacted in the Champions League to its first bump of the course, and must exploit its power as a visitor, with full wins in six outings, to regain the leadership of LaLiga Santander .

The pressure before the break for the Qatar World Cup will be felt by Real Madrid in the last two days. Barcelona’s triumph against Almería forces the Madridistas to win in Vallecas if they want to maintain their privileged position in the month and a half that domestic competition stops. A situation that is expected to be repeated on the weekdays, with Xavi’s team visiting El Sadar two days earlier.

Carlo Ancelotti will again be without Karim Benzema. The Frenchman will miss his sixth league game in just thirteen days, without confidence due to muscular discomfort that he has not fully healed and the shadow of suspicion due to the proximity of a World Cup that nobody wants to miss. He reappeared for a few minutes against Celtic in the Champions League, after three games out and when the demand for a sentenced game was lowered. But he will not have continuity.
