During Monday night's "La Liga" match, "Rayo Vallecano" shocked Madrid's "Real" football players with a score of 3:2 at home.
The hosts started the match excellently and scored the first goal of the match in the 5th minute. After a great pass from Fran Garcia, Santi Comesana scored from the edge.
The "Royal" club managed to equalize the score in the 36th minute. Luka Modrić converted a penalty from 11 meters.
Carlo Ancelloti's players pushed forward in the 41st minute. After Marco Asensio's corner kick with a header, Eder Militao beat the opponents' goalkeeper.
However, "Real" enjoyed their lead for just a few moments, as the score became level again in the 44th minute. Alvaro García scored for "Rayo Vallecano."
Drama also did not lack in the second half. In the 61st minute, the hosts' coach Andoni Iraola, showing dissatisfaction with the referee's decision, received a red card and had to leave the technical zone.
However, the absence of the coach did not stop "Vallecano" from continuing to fight against the "Real" team in this match. Their efforts were rewarded with a penalty kick after 65 minutes, when the visitors' defender Daniel Carvajal played with his hand inside his penalty area. Oscar Trejo converted the penalty on the second attempt, making the score 3:2.
The end of this match means that "Real" lost the leadership position and is currently two points behind the higher-ranked "Barcelona" team. Meanwhile, "Rayo Vallecano" climbed to the eighth position with this impressive victory.
