Camello Puts Rayo Ahead
Camello scored again soon after halftime, this time from a tight angle on the left after a corner from Lopez. His second goal gave Rayo its first lead of the match and completed a run of two Rayo goals spanning the break. Racing, which had twice moved in front in the opening half, now needed an equalizer.
Racing made three substitutions in the second half, introducing Belocian, Andre Almeida and Pablo Ramon together. Agirrezabala later saved Lejeune’s attempt from outside the box and denied Alvaro Garcia after a pass from Pedrosa. He also pushed Pathé Ciss’s header from a corner behind.
Late Chances, No Further Goal
At the other end, Belocian headed wide from Vicente’s free kick. Fran Pérez was sent off late for an elbow on Salinas. Racing subsequently introduced Arana and Aarón Martín, but the score did not change. Zabiri had a long-range shot from Vicente’s pass blocked late, and he missed a final opportunity.
