Giannelli Imbula barely put a foot wrong during his Rayo debut. Netted the match-winning goal and looked after the ball with care, linking up well with Gaël Kakuta.
Imbula has technical ability in abundance and a frame built to protect possession. Astute loan deal. ⚡️ pic.twitter.com/7VgEIuRCcD

- Rayo, went into the match at the end of the table after progressive annihilation. However, they thought they had multiplied their favorable position through Real Madrid loanee Raul de Tomas, yet his second-half exertion was discounted after the match referee counseled VAR.
- Huesca’s Argentinian midfielder Ezequiel Avila had a late header easily spared by Rayo goalkeeper Alberto Garcia, as the hosts pushed futile for an equalizer against their recently advanced side.
Quite a strange performance from Huesca tonight, would love to know why Cucho and Álex Gallar weren’t included from the off. Their associative attacking play just didn’t flow with regularity.

Tuned into Huesca Rayo late and the Spanish commentators on BeIN Sports were talking about Rory Delap…I’m guessing someone has a long throw-in ?
