The match saw the visitors notch up their 3rd win of the campaign which helped them move seven points clear of the relegation zone.
A clinical performance by Zaragoza was rewarded as they managed to beat Rayo Vallecano 2-0 at the Estadio del Rayo Vallecano last evening.
The hosts were guilty of not taking their chances as they created a number of opportunities, but failed to find the target. However, it was the visitors who gladly converted their attacks to claim all three points after the game.
The away side had their first opportunity of the game after just 7 minutes, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Victor-Rodriguez-c36092 over hit his shot from the inside of the Rayo box.
Vallecano did not learn their lessons, and Zaragoza went 1-0 up after 20 minutes, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Franco-Zuculini-c14076 fired in Jose Movilla’s pass from close range.
Vallecano grew back in to the game and after 26 minutes, Baptistao failed to direct his header on target from 6 yards out, following a Trashorras free-kick.
Trashorras free-kicks were proving to be a real pinch for the away side as this time again Galvez was at crime for missing the target from very close range.
Rayo further made chances after the interval, and again Galvez’s long range effort flew over the bar.
The search for the equaliser continued, and Alhassane Bangoura then came into the home support’s bad books as he missed the target from 12 yards out, after 52 minutes.
Just before the hour mark, Zaragoza scored against the run of play as Apono taught the home side what finishing should be like. The Zaragoza man clinically finished with a smashing drive from the edge of the area and David Cobeno stood with little chance
of saving that.
Galvez again managed to miss a simple goal with a header as he failed to find the target yet again.
Triguero Tito finally brought the away side’s goalkeeper into action as he managed to hit the target with his right footed effort, but Jimenez Roberto was equal to the effort and rounded the shot round the post.
The performance was a very disappointing one from Rayo and Zaragoza will have happily taken all the three points home.
