Rayo Vallecano 1-0 Elche
Rayo Vallecano secured a vital 1-0 victory over ten-man Elche, creating distance from the relegation zone ahead of their Conference League match against AEK Athens. After a goalless first half, Rayo broke the deadlock with Randy Nteka’s goal in the 75th minute. Elche struggled after Bigas received a second yellow card, failing to mount a comeback. This win leaves Rayo seven points clear of relegation, while Elche faces uncertainty as they cling to a one-point advantage above the drop zone.
