Important win at the derby
We achieved a valuable win at the Vallecas Stadium, where we won 0-1 against Rayo Vallecano in the game corresponding to the 29th LaLiga matchday.
Our team made a good start to the match and after just two minutes, Griezmann gave us a warning with a low shot that tested the reflexes of Dimitrievski, who sent the Frenchman's shot to a corner. Griezmann also came close to scoring in the 12th minute, after a free kick from De Paul to the heart of the area that João Félix combed behind and that the athletic '8' failed to connect by centimeters to send to the back of the net.
But it was at the start of the second half when the scoreboard registered a change, with a goal by Koke in minute 49. Our captain, in triangulation with João Félix, scored the 0-1 with a precise shot to the Rayo goalkeeper's long post, taking advantage of an assist between lines from the Portuguese attacker.
An advantage that Simeone's team knew how to maintain until the final whistle, against a rival that did not have many chances either, except for one by Sergi Guardiola in 60', which was met with a providential hand by Oblak, and another by Balliu in stoppage time, which was also caught by the Slovenian goalkeeper.
