Two goals were obtained by the Rayo Vallecano team today, one of which was the result of an own goal so that the home team was very lucky because in the second half the Rayo Vallecano team immediately excelled by the own goal. And then the second goal only continued in the 63rd minute through a Rayo Vallecano player named Alvaro Garcia and it continued to increase the advantage for the home team until the end of the match. So the two goals owned by Rayo Vallecano were goals that were created through different events in the match.
I didn't watch this match because I didn't think it was very interesting. However,
based on the reviews I saw, Rayo Vallecano dominated attacks well and created many goal chances. Almeria actually also had several chances, but they were unable to score from their 5 shots on target.
With this victory, Rayo Vallecano managed to secure 5th place in the standings with total of 32 points or 1 point ahead of Villarreal in 6th place or 3 points lost to Atletico Madrid in 4th place. Vallecano might end up in 4th place if Atletico Madrid fail to win some tough match against Celta Vigo, Bilbao, Real Madrid and Sevilla, but that's only if Vallecano is consistent with his wins.
It looks like Barcelona this season is a team that has a good defense, because with Barcelona being consistent they don't often concede goals in every match. So these results have made Barcelona conceded only seven goals so far and what's more, Barcelona has a good number of goals too because they are only two goals different from Real Madrid.
So indeed, with this achievement I personally admit that Barcelona deserved to win the La Liga title this season. Because Barcelona has consistently good performance in La Liga, and of course that is a result that must be appreciated.
Of course, and it is undeniable. Barcelona has been strong team this season in La Liga, even being the strongest team in the last 20 matches of La Liga.
I have to agree with you about Barcelona, they are the favorites to win the La Liga title this season, but of course the next 18 games will be even more difficult.
