In Cádiz, with record of warnings so far seasonthere were hardly any chances to score, although the clearest was the one by the Rayista Isi Palazón, whose shot in the final stretch was deflected by the Cádista goalkeeper, the Argentine Conan Ledesma.

The Cádiz coach, Sergio González, made two changes to the starting eleven compared to the one he had used on the visit to Betis. Thus, winger Darwin Machís and forward Roger came in instead of Robert Navarro and Chris Ramos.

Francisco Rodríguez lined up in Rayo the defender Abdul Mumin, the midfielder Pathé Ciss and the forwards Trejo, De Frutos and Sergio Camello instead of Aridane, Unai López, Isi Palazón, Kike Pérez and Raúl de Tomás, who started in the match the previous day.

Cádiz began by dominating, pressing high and trying to test the Macedonian goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski. Precisely because a fall in front of the Rayista goalkeeper called for a penalty the Uruguayan Maxi Gómez, but ended up being reprimanded for simulation.

Lightning warned that He forced Ledesma to act twice in just half a minute. First, the Argentine took a low back pass from Álvaro García and instantly caught a weak shot from Espino, which had been received with whistles by his former fans.

Cádiz was closer to the goal when a strong cross from Maxi Gómez could not be finished off by Roger, who unsuccessfully went in search of the ball with Dimitrievski already surpassed. Before, Alcaraz had headed a good cross from a set piece wide.

Again Maxi Gómez played a leading role in the attack Cadist with a header to the center by Javi Hernández. The Uruguayan wanted to score his first goal with Cádiz, but also to serve another goal like he had done for Villamarín. Thus, once again falling to the right wing, he crossed the area looking for Roger, who did not arrive this time either.

Machís, with a weak distant shot, tried his luck, but with more rough play than football the minutes passed. The yellow card festival continued with warnings to Trejo, Chavarría and Espino and culminated before the break with a direct red card for protesting the delegate of the Vallecano Ray.

Without changes to the lineups or the script, the match resumed. Cádiz seemed to dominate the match more, but without clear marking options. A cross from Alejo from the baseline looking for Roger that ended up in the hands of Dimitrievski was the only thing notable. Opposite, a well-established Rayo that at game time created danger with a direct foul from Lejeune that went wide.

After match time the first modifications arrived. On the local side, Sergio González refreshed both wings and a piece of the forward line. Within a minute, Francisco brought on Isi Palazón instead of De Frutos.

Without goals and with almost total absence of chances, the last ten minutes were reached, when the goalkeeper of the Cadiz, Conan Ledesma, performed his usual “miracle.” The Argentine flew to clear a strong shot from Isi, who was improving Rayo by the minute.

In the final stretch, neither team wanted to lose the point they had scored so far and prudence was the protagonist of each pass. The scenario could have changed when Rayo was left one less in the 87th minute. Mumin brought down Alcaraz for a foul and was reprimanded, but he protested to the referee, who showed him the red card. Despite their numerical superiority, Cádiz was not able to create danger and the match ended with a distribution of points.
