In this closely contested Segunda Federación fixture, CDA Navalcarnero edged past Rayo Vallecano B with a 2-1 victory, leveraging a strong first-half performance. Navalcarnero seized the initiative early, with their first goal coming just eight minutes into the match. Their attacking prowess was evident, as they doubled their advantage by the 41st minute, showcasing effective teamwork and clinical finishing.

Rayo Vallecano B managed to pull one back right before halftime, marking their perseverance and ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. However, their inability to breach Navalcarnero's defense more frequently was partly due to fewer scoring attempts; the team was contained effectively, leading to only 2 corner kicks compared to the home side's 4. Vallecano’s defensive lapses allowed Navalcarnero's forwards to maintain sustained pressure and dictate the pace.

Discipline was a consistent issue throughout the match, with both teams receiving two yellow cards each, indicating aggressive, high-stakes play but no resulting ejections. Navalcarnero’s minor foul count of just one underscored their measured defensive approach. In contrast, Rayo Vallecano's three fouls and lack of offsides highlight their struggle to translate aggressive play into coordinated attacks. Ultimately, it was Navalcarnero's efficient use of early chances and disciplined game management that sealed their victory.
