The town of Majadahonda experienced a weekend of sports celebrations, culminating in the promotion of Rayo Majadahonda to Primera Federación. The team, which had previously spent three years in this category, secured its return with a decisive victory.

The match began with Rayo Majadahonda, despite being weakened by absences, driven by the unconditional support of its fans, who displayed an impressive tifo. The home team dominated from the start, creating numerous scoring opportunities. Despite an early disallowed goal, the pressure on the Rayo Vallecano B goal was constant, with shots from Ilies and Yuya narrowly missing.
The first goal came in the 13th minute, when Telis headed in a ball from a corner kick taken by Amaro, igniting euphoria in the stadium. Rayo Majadahonda maintained its intensity, overwhelming a Rayo Vallecano B that struggled to connect passes. Definitive calm arrived in the 36th minute with the score at 2-0, resulting from a play by Ilies Faure that ended in an own goal by a visiting defender.
In the second half, the home team controlled the pace of the game, managing their lead. Although dominance continued, the urgency of the first half diminished. The final blow came around the 70th minute, with the score at 3-0, again an own goal after a pass from Fran. This result sealed the promotion, and the match concluded with the bench and fans celebrating a historic achievement.
After the final whistle, fans invaded the pitch to celebrate with the players. Rayo Majadahonda lifted the champions' trophy, capping off a spectacular season as league leaders with 70 points. The team will now begin a rest period until mid-July, before preparing to consolidate its position in the new category.
