The match, held at the Fernando Torres Stadium, was described as “dull” in terms of football due to the poor condition of the pitch, which hindered combination play. Despite this, the outcome was “tremendously valuable” in terms of league standings for the Majadahonda team.
From early morning, Rayo Majadahonda fans gathered around the stadium, showing strong support for their team. Expectations were high, especially as Sanse, the previous leader, was facing Real Madrid C, a match that ultimately favored Majadahonda's interests.
CF Fuenlabrada, weakened by injuries and with only fourteen players available, focused on defense. The match was marked by an early injury to a Rayo Majadahonda player in the 5th minute, who had to leave the field on a stretcher, a situation also attributed to the deteriorated playing surface.
“"Real Madrid's goal was celebrated as if it were Rayito's."
Crucial news arrived from Matapiñonera, where San Sebastián de los Reyes fell to Real Madrid C. This result sparked euphoria in the away stands of Fernando Torres, as it opened the door for the Majadahonda team to take the lead. The second half of the Fuenlabrada match, though goalless, saw some clear chances for Rayo Majadahonda, which they failed to convert.
With the final score of 0-0, Rayo Majadahonda now leads the league and will depend on their own performance in the final matchday to secure promotion. Next Sunday, the team will host Rayo Vallecano B at Cerro del Espino at 12:00 PM, in what promises to be a historic match for the town. Rayo B, although already relegated, is not expected to give anything away, while Sanse will travel to the Canary Islands to face a Tenerife B with nothing left to play for.
