In addition to the Premier League and Ligue 1, this evening of Friday August 8 was also synonymous with the opening match of the Spanish championship. If we have to wait until this weekend to see FC Barcelona and Real Madrid tread the Iberian lawns, the first match of this exercise saw UD Almeria and Rayo Vallecano face off at the Mediterranean Games stadium in Andalusia.
The club from the south-east of the capital won thanks to two penalties converted by Isi Palazon (1-0, 20th) and the Frenchman Randy Nteka eight minutes later (2-0, 28th). A success and three points which allow the people of Madrid to logically and temporarily take the lead in the La Liga standings, pending the second meeting of the evening between Sevilla FC and Valencia (10 p.m.).
