Camello and Nteka seal 2-0 win as Getafe - Rayo Vallecano turns Rayo's focus

Rayo Vallecano won 2-0 at the Coliseum in getafe - rayo vallecano, with Sergio Camello striking before halftime and Randy Nteka adding the second after the break. The result left Rayo very close to securing permanence in Primera division and shifted attention toward Thursday's trip to Strasbourg.

Camello Opens at the Coliseum

Camello made the difference first. He opened the scoring with a right-footed shot from distance just before halftime, giving Rayo the lead after a period in which Getafe had tried to keep building on its push for the European places.

The forward's night was even busier. A goal from him was ruled out before halftime, and that sequence kept the match tight even after the opener. Luis Vázquez then hit the crossbar with a header shortly after the 0-1, a chance that could have altered the tempo before the interval.

Batalla's Penalty Save

After the break, José Bordalás turned to Kamara, Diego Rico and Sancris, looking for a response from Getafe. The move brought more pressure, and Augusto Batalla soon conceded a penalty after punching Luis Vázquez in the area on a Diego Rico cross he misjudged.

Batalla corrected his own mistake by saving Mauro Arambarri's penalty. That stop preserved Rayo's lead long enough for the visitors to settle the match later, and it kept Getafe from turning the momentum created by the spot kick into an equalizer.

Nteka Finishes the Job

Nteka sealed the 2-0 win after replacing Camello. Rayo did not need a long spell of pressure after that; it needed one clean finish, and it got it from the substitute forward.

The victory leaves Íñigo Pérez's side on the verge of safety in Primera division, while the schedule now points to a much bigger task on Thursday in Strasbourg. That historic Conference League tie is the next match that matters, and Rayo reach it with a league result that gives them breathing room.
