Real Madrid – Rayo Vallecano

Real Madrid turned their home ground into a showcase of attacking firepower, cruising to a 4‑1 victory over Rayo Vallecano. The win lifts the Spanish giants to second place with 12 points from five matches, their record now reading four wins, no draws and a single loss while boasting a 14‑4 goal difference. Rayo, slipping to 16th with just four points, remain in the relegation zone after registering only one win, one draw and three defeats, and their goal tally narrows to eight for and 14 against. The head‑to‑head this season tips decisively in Madrid’s favour, having already secured the sole win in their previous encounter. With the three‑point haul, Los Blancos inch closer to the league summit, while Vallecano must regroup quickly to avoid a further slide.
