The La Liga face-off held at the Estadio Martínez Valero between Elche CF and Rayo Vallecano on 29 April 2023, proved to be an unequivocal triumph for the home team, with a commanding 4-0 victory.

Elche CF demonstrated an unrelenting offensive force, scoring four masterfully executed goals. Still, perhaps the most significant factor in their success was the team's structured play and effective teamwork. Tete Morente set ball rolling in the 45th minute, converting a pass from Fidel Chaves de la Torre. The assist provider would later be seen finding the net in the 52nd minute after a brilliant pass from Gerard Gumbau Garriga. Lucas Boye and Gerard Gumbau Garriga also found the back of the net with precise assists from Lautaro Blanco and Jose Antonio Ferrandez Pomares respectively.

On the other hand, the Rayo Vallecano's offensive inefficiency was evident as they failed to convert any of their 3 attempts on target. Their attack, despite having 8 corner opportunities compared to Elche's 3, lacked the ferocity and precision needed to break through the robust defense of the home team. This ineffective attack was further highlighted by their 13 missed goal attempts.

Elche CF demonstrated a confident and composed defense, allowing only 3 shots on their goal from Vallecano. Their defensive performance considerably deteriorated the effectiveness of Vallecano's attack. Moreover, the fact that each team had an equal number of offside calls (3) suggests neither team had a advantages nor a drastic superiority in terms of positional play.

As far as disciplinary actions are concerned, both teams were on the receiving end of a yellow card each; Carlos Clerc Martinez for Elche CF and Alvaro Garcia Rivera for Rayo Vallecano. Furthermore, Rayo Vallecano's misfortune was amplified as they received a red card, reducing them to a ten-man team, negatively impacting their potential to turn the tables.

In conclusion, despite Rayo Vallecano outperforming Elche CF in terms of corner kicks and nearly equal number of shots off target, they failed to convert their chances. Elche CF, on the other hand, capitalized on their accuracy in their shots on target and assists. Effective team play, strategic shot targeting, and effective utilization of chances played significant roles in the decisive victory for Elche CF.
