Despite EIGHT MINUTES of added time, Barça couldn't find an equalizer and Rayo have a famous result in front of their home crowd.
Despite EIGHT MINUTES of added time, Barça couldn't find an equalizer and Rayo have a famous result in front of their home crowd.
Memphis steps up, takes a bad penalty and Dimitrievski makes the save.
Barça have a spot kick! Memphis Depay carries the ball into the box and is tripped by Valentín!
Barça have created more in the first 15 minutes of the second half than they did in the entire first half. Nico González missed a one-on-one with the keeper and Sergio Agüero wasted two excellent chances, and the equalizer feels like a matter of time.
And we're back underway in Vallecas!
Very easy half for... Rayo. The home team was never in trouble defensively and got whatever they wanted in attack, and they are deservedly ahead at the half. Barça look horrible, and that's a compliment.
What a chance! Memphis spins away from his defender down the left and puts it on a plate for Dest who is three yards away from goal with no goalkeeper in front of him, but the American somehow sends it over the bar for the second game in a row.
Rayo take the lead. Busquets loses the ball in midfield and Trejo plays Falcao through, and the Colombiandribbles past Piqué before finding the bottom corner.
25 minutes in and there's not much to write about with this one. Rayo are attacking as they usually do and Barça are trying to do the same, but can't bring any danger to the home team's defense and Ter Stegen has been the busier goalkeeper so far.
And we're underway in Vallecas!
