Key moments
84'The referee looks satisfied after his VAR review and duly disallows the goal for offside. The Espanyol players look gutted.
83'Houston, we have a problem! The referee has indicated that there will be a VAR review of the goal to look at a possible offside. The Espanyol players aren’t happy.
69'The Espanyol players can’t believe it after referee Jose Sanchez signals NO PENALTY after the VAR review. Play to continue.
65'Wait! The referee makes the VAR signal and he's going to review that incident in the box from earlier. This could be a penalty for Espanyol! Let's see what he decides.
50'Tempers flare after Gerard Gumbau (Rayo Vallecano) commits a foul. He receives a yellow card for his bad challenge and surely must be relieved at not receiving a red card.
39'1 - 0Goal! Roberto Fernandez Jaen (Espanyol) wins the battle of wills and sends an unstoppable penalty past Augusto Batalla into the bottom left corner.
