Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
Rayo Vallecano will ruminate on this incredible failure. The people of Madrid received Girona on the occasion of the 26th day of La Liga. At the end of a controlled first period, the locals led two goals to one against the Catalans, after achievements from Isi Palazon and Oscar Trejo. Just before the break, Rayo had the opportunity to make the break by obtaining a penalty. The former Toulouse then took care of it and saw his attempt being hijacked by Gazzaniga. Only, players had entered the surface and the referee of the meeting decided to offer a second chance to the playmaker.

🤯🤯🤯 Incredible streak for Rayo Vallecano!
😵 Oscar Trejo misses his penalty, withdraws it, and decides to pass to Isi Palazón, who sends the ball into the clouds, 2 meters from the cage!https://t.co/GVhS0HEf5m— beIN SPORTS (@beinsports_FR) March 18, 2023
The latter then decided to make a famous two-man combination, as Leo Messi and Luis Suarez had already achieved with Barca a few years ago. However, the Rayo players seem to have been rather inspired by Robert Pirès and Thierry Henry, who had missed a similar penalty with Arsenal. Oscar Trejo nudged Isi Palazon, who sent his shot over the Girona goal. A failure which is expensive, since the visitors managed to snatch the draw in the second half.
To sum up
Rayo Vallecano conceded the draw against Girona on the occasion of the 26th day of La Liga. Just before the break, the people of Madrid benefited from a penalty that Oscar Trejo decided to play two with Isa Palazon, without success.
