Rayo Vallecano defeats Las Palmas to enter the race for European qualification in La Liga
Rayo Vallecano secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Las Palmas in La Liga's 35th round, moving closer to European qualification spots while leaving their opponents in a precarious position in the relegation battle.
In the opening match of La Liga's 35th round for the 2024/2025 season, Rayo Vallecano secured a vital 1-0 away victory against Las Palmas, earning three crucial points in their pursuit of European competition qualification. The winning goal came from French defender Florian Lejeune, who capitalized on a set-piece opportunity.
With this result, Rayo Vallecano reaches 44 points, moving up to 7th place in the standings, tied with Osasuna and Mallorca, all vying for a spot in the UEFA Conference League. Celta de Vigo currently holds the last UEFA Europa League qualifying position with 46 points.
The victory extends Rayo's positive run, marking their third consecutive win, including previous triumphs over Real Sociedad and Alavés. Their next challenge will be a home match against Real Betis on May 14th, a direct clash in the battle for European spots.
Conversely, Las Palmas remains at 33 points, dangerously close to the relegation zone in 16th place. The team is winless in their last four matches and will face Girona in the upcoming round, urgently needing a turnaround to avoid relegation.
