This exciting La Liga outing at Los Carmenes saw the away team, Rayo Vallecano, outperform home team Granada with a 2-0 victory. This victory was largely influenced by the superior offensive performance and defensive discipline displayed by the Vallecano side.

Their dominance can be seen in the number of shots recorded, with a total of seventeen attempts, nine on target and eight off-target. This performance contributed significantly to the scored goals in the second half, by Alvaro Garcia Rivera and Pathe Ciss, both excellently assisted by Unai Lopez Cabrera and Raul de Tomas consequently.

Granada, on the other hand, struggled to match their opponents' prowess, managing only thirteen shots, with merely seven on target and six off-target. This lack of precision was reflected in their goalless finish.

Rayo Vallecano’s defensive discipline was commendable, committing just eleven fouls and receiving only one yellow card, with no dismissals.

Rayo Vallecano, although caught offside more, seven times to Granada's single offside, were proactive and aggressive in their gameplay, which paid off in the end.

Among the most important contributors to Rayo Vallecano's victory was the successful combination play between Unai Lopez and Raul de Tomas, who not only provided the assists for both goals but were also key in their team's general offensive setup.

In summary, the match was heavily influenced by Rayo Vallecano's superior shot accuracy and the disciplined defensive performance compared to Granada. The absence of a Granada player due to a red card in addition to their less effective offence also factored into the home team's loss.
