Mistakes propel Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano to wins in La Liga opener

On Friday, the La Liga season kicked off with two matches starting off with Girona vs Rayo Vallecano and ending off with Villarreal vs Real Oviedo.

This game was pretty much over after the first half where Rayo took a commanding 3-0 lead. Rayo were the better team on the night but they were heavily helped by the nightmare game that Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga had.

He gave away the ball in the 18th minute to Jorge De Frutos leading to him having an open net to shoot at. The second goal in the 20th minute wasn't on him as De Frutos put in an excellent pass to Alvaro Garcia to extend the lead. For the third goal, he lost the ball, fouled De Frutos in the box, and got sent off for the foul.
