Vallecas Vibras: Rayo Vallecano Dominates Real Oviedo and Moves Away from the Abyss

A Double from De Frutos and a Goal from Álvaro García Seal a Key Victory on Matchday 23

LaLiga EA Sports experienced a postponed match this Wednesday in Vallecas, where **Rayo Vallecano** demonstrated its solidity against a **Real Oviedo** team that was beaten by a resounding **3-0**. The duel, which had to be postponed due to the conditions of the grass, allowed Iñigo Pérez's team to display high-flying football, thus distancing themselves from the relegation zone. The Asturians, for their part, see their situation in the qualifying table becoming more complicated.

From the first stages, the franjirrojo team imposed its law. With notable intensity, Rayo took control of the ball and constantly surrounded the goal defended by Aarón Escandell. The approaches, with long shots from Lejeune and a shot from Ilias Akhomach that grazed the post, foreshadowed what was to come.

The undisputed protagonist of the afternoon was **Jorge de Frutos**. The attacker, with his sights set on his possible call-up for the World Cup, displayed a repertoire of skills that demonstrated his full adaptation to the false nine position. Just before the break, after a shot was repelled by Escandell, De Frutos collected the rebound and sent it to the back of the net, unleashing euphoria in Vallecas.

Oviedo's reaction, attempted by Almada with the entry of Cazorla and Thiago Fernández, was frustrated only at the beginning of the second half. A penalty committed by Ahijado on Álvaro García, masterfully converted by **Jorge de Frutos** in the **50** minute, put the score at **2-0** and left the visiting team very shaken.

The third blow came in the **62** minute, when an error in Oviedo's release of the ball was taken advantage of by **Álvaro García**. After a first attempt stopped by Escandell, the winger did not forgive in his second opportunity, sealing the match and adding the final **3-0**.

The entrance of **Trejo** onto the field, cheered by fans who consider him a legend, marked an emotional moment. The Argentine, who has announced that these will be his last months at the club, received the affection of his fans in a match that will be marked by the forcefulness and dedication of Rayo Vallecano.
