A ten man Rayo Vallecano side still lost to Granada last night, but not before the men from Andalucia conspired to miss this absolute sitter
While Granada got out of Vallecas with an important win, leaving Rayo in 18th in the table as they climbed to seventh, but on their way to a win, they managed to miss an absolute sitter.
The chance came on a break after Brahimi makes a well-timed run through Rayo’s back line and pulls the ball across the box, setting El-Arabi through on goal. With an empty goal completely at his mercy, he inexplicably tries to take an extra touch instead of shooting, controls the ball poorly and ends up running out of space as he hits the post, trying to sneak the ball in from a wide angle.
Although they lost, Rayo fans can console themsleves with the fact that the very lovely Cristina Pedroche is a big fan of theirs.
