Rayo Halts Betis's Title Push

Rayo Vallecano stopped Betis's three-match winning streak in a match marked by controversial VAR decisions.

The 104-minute game featured two lengthy VAR reviews. In the 48th minute, what looked like a penalty for Rayo when Mendy knocked down Cucho was ruled outside the area. Later, in the 86th minute, Valentín's challenge on Ratiu was reviewed for over four minutes before the referee maintained it was outside the area and did not issue a red card.

The match included 14 minutes of added time.
