Rayo Vallecano
Racing Santander
Outstanding performance
Rayo Vallecano•AttackerRayo Vallecano won this rollercoaster by refusing to let Racing Santander's fast start settle the game, hitting back twice inside the opening 43 minutes before Sergio Camello's second goal moments into the second half won it. Racing led twice through Sergio Canales' early free-kick and Pablo García's well-struck effort from outside the box, but Rayo's higher shot volume (16 to 9, 10 on target to 4) eventually told. Camello was the difference, scoring the equalizer right before the break and then finding a tight angle from a corner just a minute into the second half to complete the turnaround. The match then descended into chaos late on, with Fran Pérez and Jorge de Frutos both dismissed inside the final ten minutes, capping a first half that produced eight significant incidents against just four after the break.
