Satriano rescues Getafe after early setback

Getafe drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, with the result confirmed after a match Rayo largely controlled despite failing to secure the win.

Rayo took the lead in the 11th minute when Álvaro García scored a normal goal assisted by Jorge De Frutos, making it 0-1. Getafe’s task became harder in the 28th minute when Dakonam Ortega Djené was shown a red card. Yet Martin Satriano equalised in the 56th minute, scoring a normal goal from Francho Serrano Gracia’s assist to make it 1-1.

Rayo dominated possession but not the score

Rayo had 68% possession, completed 521 accurate passes from 581 total and registered 21 shots to Getafe’s 12.

Those numbers underlined the contrast between Rayo’s control and the final scoreline.

Getafe collected six yellow cards as well as the red card, while Rayo received three yellow cards. The late cautions included Getafe’s Nemanja Gudelj in the 87th minute and Rayo’s Sergio Camello in the 90th.
