Alavés Rescue a Point in Vallecas as Rayo Hold On for 1-1

Rayo Vallecano and Deportivo Alavés shared a 1-1 draw on matchday 2 of La Liga, a result that flattered the home side — Alavés's npxG of 1.92 against Rayo's 0.4 told the real story of the afternoon, despite the possession split of 48–52 keeping things superficially tight.

Pelayo Fernández gave Rayo the lead in the 35th minute, and they held it until Mariano Díaz struck in the 84th to earn Alavés — the slight underdogs on paper at €69M to Rayo's €73M — a thoroughly deserved point.

Pablo Ibáñez was the standout performer on the night, posting a match rating of 7.93 for Deportivo Alavés.
