Rayo Vallecano put itself closer to returning to the Spanish League, beating Leganes 3-0 at home this Thursday.
Launched on the field in the 65th minute, Bebé turned out to be the great figure of the game. After Álvaro García put Rayo ahead in the 73rd minute, the Portuguese striker made it 2-0 in the 76th minute after a good individual play (goalkeepers were not blameless) and signed the third, in 90+4, in taking a free-kick in the style of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rayo Vallecano thus starts with a comfortable advantage for the 2nd leg match against Leganes, on Sunday.
In the other round of the play-off to climb to the Spanish League, Girona beat Almería (which featured João Carvalho) at home for the same result: 3-0 with goals from Edgar Barcenas (2m) Yan Couto (5m) and Mamadu Syla at minute 65. A duel is now foreseen between Rayo and Girona to decide that he joins Espanyol and Mallorca in the group of teams returning to the top level.
The goals of Rayo Vallecano-Leganés:
