Gareth Bale (81 mins)
Oh Adri Embarba, what have you done? The man who gave Rayo a seventh-minute lead plays the ball across midfield but it's picked off by Gareth Bale, who goes on a run, beats a couple of defenders and slots home.
That's his second of the night and Real are set to go top for a couple of hours at least.

Not too much to report from the opening five minutes of the second half at Vallecas. Both sides have been attacking but no real chances yet.

Piyush Bisht: Always admired Rayo coach Paco Jemez. Reliant on free transfers and a budget of €7m, they always play to win despite the outcome.
