With one game to go, the Yellows are already assured of a place in the next UEFA Europa League and will miss out on fourth place to Real Sociedad. The visitors\u2019 goal came from Lo Celso, while Ra\u00fal de Tom\u00e1s and Isi scored for the home side. With Foyth making his 100th appearance in the yellow shirt, the match was marked by heavy rain at Vallecas. A spectacular downpour of water prevented the players from being precise and meant that any mistake on the ball could be lethal. Despite this, the Submarine were true to their style. Quique Seti\u00e9n\u2019s team came out with the ball played out from the back using Pepe Reina like another outfield player. The best chance of the first half fell to the Yellows. An elaborate move ended with the ball on the left for Alfonso Pedraza to unleash a powerful shot that went narrowly wide (m. 34). Rayo Vallecano had their chance at the start of the second half. Ra\u00fal de Tom\u00e1s\u2019 shot was blocked by Pepe Reina (m.50). The home side took the lead five minutes later. Chavarr\u00eda crossed from the left and Ra\u00fal de Tom\u00e1s headed home (1-0). Quique Seti\u00e9n brought on Gerard and Lo Celso in search of the comeback that would allow them to dream of the Champions League. Rayo made it 2-0 in the 62nd minute. Santi Comesa\u00f1a got to the byline and crossed back for Isi to widen the gap on the scoreboard. Villarreal tried to close the gap until the end and managed to do so in the 82nd minute. Pedraza crossed from the left and Lo Celso connected with his head to make it 2-1. There was time, but the equaliser was not forthcoming. The Submarine\u2019s next game will be against Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid at the Estadio de la Cer\u00e1mica on the last day of LaLiga.
