Review of the match Real Sociedad - Rayo Vallecano:
Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano battled it out in a tense La Liga match at the Real Arena. The game ended in a goalless draw despite both teams creating several opportunities. The first half started with a lot of energy and both teams were keen to get a goal as soon as possible. However, despite their best efforts, neither Real Sociedad nor Rayo Vallecano were able to score. The score at half-time was 0-0. In the first half, Rayo Vallecano players received several yellow cards. In the 7th minute O. Trejo received a yellow card for a tackle. He was followed by I. Balliu on 19 minutes for a similar offence. Francisco added to the list of yellow cards for Rayo Vallecano in the 22nd minute.
Real Sociedad made their first substitution in the match in the 29th minute, bringing on A. Zakharyan instead of B. Mendes. The hosts hoped that this substitution would give their game freshness and a new attacking threat. The second half began with both teams continuing to look for the elusive goal. In the 55th minute, Rayo Vallecano made their first substitution, replacing O. Trejo with R. Nteka. This personnel change should have given the attacking game more dynamism. On 57 minutes, Rayo Vallecano's U. Lopez received a yellow card, adding to the growing list of penalties in the match. Real Sociedad responded with a triple substitution in the 62nd minute. У. Sadiq came on in place of M. Oyarzabal, Andre Silva came on in place of S. Becker, and I. Zubeldia came on in place of U. Gonzalez. These strategic changes were designed to disrupt Rayo Vallecano's defensive structure and create new opportunities for Real Sociedad. The referee continued to hand out cards to both teams and in the 70th minute, Real Sociedad's J. Galan received a yellow card. Rayo Vallecano responded with two quick substitutions in the 71st minute, with S. Camelo replacing C. Perez and I. Palazón coming on in place of J. de Frutos. As the match entered its final stages, Real Sociedad made one last substitution in the 83rd minute: R. Le Normand came on in place of J. de Frutos. Le Normand came on in place of J. A. Olasagasti. Hopes that this substitution would add solidity to the back line and prevent Rayo Vallecano from finding a late winner were not fulfilled. Rayo Vallecano's disappointment with the result was evident when R. Nteka received a yellow card in the 85th minute. In the final minutes of the game, the referee also suspended Real Sociedad player J. Pacheco. Despite both teams showing determination and creating goal-scoring opportunities, neither Real Sociedad nor Rayo Vallecano were able to force a turnaround. In the end, the score remained 0-0 and both teams were forced to settle for a single point. Nevertheless, the game demonstrated the competitive nature of La Liga, with both teams showing their skill and defensive resilience.
In the next round the following matches await the rivals: Girona - Real C-Dad, Atletico - Rayo Vallecano.
