Girona 0-3 Rayo Vallecano LIVE Score, La Liga 2025-26: Los Franjirrojos Three Goals Ahead In Season Opener

A change for both sides. Asprilla, who was non-existent in the first half, is replaced by Portu. Meanwhile, Luiz Felipe comes off for Pelayo Fernandez. The second half is underway.

De Frutos almost got his second goal, but it is disallowed due to a foul in the buildup. Rayo had multiple good chances to increase their lead even more in the eight added minutes, but Inigo Perez will be happy with the three goals that his side have scored.

Seven minutes of added time, and Izi makes no mistake in dispatching the penalty kick. It's an unstoppable kick, giving Krapytsov absolutely no chance.

It goes from bad to worse for Girona's goalkeeper today. After essentially handing the first goal on a platter to de Frutos, the Argentine then gives away posession just inside the box and then grabs the Rayo player to make amends. The referee immediately blows for a penalty, and shows a straight red card to the goalkeeper. Vladyslav Krapyvtsov comes on for Bojan Miovski.

Arnau Martinez put in a terrific cross from the right, but none of the Girona players are alert enough to get to the end of it. Another chance goes begging for the hosts.

Girona are growing into the game, with Asprilla finding himself in the box, but his shot is blocked by a Rayo defender. The hosts are pushing forward with more and more intensity now. However, Rayo are still lethal on the counter, and Izi's pace is proving to be a menace.

Girona are imploding at the moment. A lethal counter attack from the visitors, with de Frutos being just too powerful for his marker. He runs it to the edge of the box and then crosses it across the face of the goal, and Alvaro Garcia poked it in from close range.

WHAT WAS THAT?! The first day of La Liga, and we have a contender for the worst moment of the season. Gazzaniga tried to play out from the back, passing it to David Lopez. The centre-back passed it back to the goalkeeper, but Gazzaniga slipped comically, allowing Jorge de Frutos to roll it into an empty net.

The first controversy of the match, as a Girona player is clattered right outside the box. The home side call for a penalty, but the referee waves on. A brilliant decision on replay, as the player had stopped in hopes of contact.

Soon, Luiz Felipe earns a yellow card for a clumsy challenge.

The first effortn from Rayo Vallecano comes from set piece, as Lejeune jumps the highest to head the corner kick. However, the header has no direction, and Gazzaniga is not bothered much.

A physical start to the match, with Andrei Ratiu lucky to avoid a yellow card after a harsh tackle. Not the prettiest of matches so far, to be fair.

After a minute's silence for the passing of Cristian Stuani's father, the visitors get the match underway. La Liga 2025-26 is on!
