In a tightly contested La Liga fixture, Rayo Vallecano emerged victorious over Leganes with a 1-0 win. The deciding factor was a goal by Pathe Ciss early in the second half, a testament to Rayo Vallecano's ability to capitalize on key moments of opportunity. Despite Leganes having possession for a fair share of the match, their offensive efforts were muted, recording only one shot on target compared to Rayo Vallecano's three. It highlighted Rayo's effectiveness in focusing their attacking endeavors into meaningful efforts on goal.

Rayo Vallecano displayed offensive persistence, registering 16 shots off target, indicating their determination to break through Leganes' defense. Their nine corner kicks compared to Leganes' two further illustrated Rayo's sustained attacks, consistently pressuring the Leganes defense. However, this zeal in attack came at the cost of discipline and precision, as evidenced by their higher number of fouls, tallying 19 against Leganes' seven, and accumulating four yellow cards in the process.

Leganes was once again thwarted by their inability to convert shots into serious threats. Though they had a respectable four shots off target, their lack of impact upfront reflected in their singular shot on goal, showcasing inefficiency in the final third. Leganes' two offsides could indicate both a lack of synchronization in attack and a well-executed offside trap by Rayo's defense. The crucial turning point was a red card for Leganes, which heavily tilted momentum towards Rayo in maintaining their slender lead without fear of reprisal.

The match underscored the contrasting styles and strategic executions: Leganes struggling with clinical precision and Rayo Vallecano leveraging aggressive forward pressure. Despite some indiscipline, Rayo Vallecano's ability to find the back of the net, coupled with strategic offensive play, ultimately sealed their triumph.
