1-1. Mariano takes advantage of Rayo's doubts in Leganés' 'exile'

Rayo Vallecano and Alavés played to a 1-1 draw in a peculiar match held at Butarque stadium in Leganés, as Rayo Vallecano is temporarily unable to use its home ground. The draw came courtesy of goals from Sergio Camello for Rayo and Mariano Díaz, who scored a late equalizer for Alavés.

The match marked Rayo Vallecano's return to Butarque, their second temporary home, after their stadium's concession was revoked by the Community of Madrid for renovations ensuring safety. Despite the club's claims that issues have been resolved, the situation led to a low turnout, with only 4,280 spectators attending. Those present voiced their discontent, chanting "Out, out" and "Presa, leave now" as club president Raúl Martín Presa appeared in the stands.

On the field, Rayo Vallecano started stronger, creating several early chances. However, Alavés also threatened, hitting the post before halftime. A goal for Rayo was disallowed by VAR due to a handball.

In the second half, Sergio Camello opened the scoring for Rayo Vallecano. The goal seemed to unsettle Alavés, who struggled to respond defensively. However, substitute Mariano Díaz managed to equalize for Alavés in the closing minutes, capitalizing on a defensive error by Rayo's Ratiu. Alavés had further opportunities to win the match in the final stages.
