Match Postponed Due to Unsafe Pitch Conditions

Oviedo’s Trip to Rayo Vallecano Interrupted

The scheduled match at Rayo Vallecano’s Vallecas Stadium between Oviedo and Rayo was canceled shortly before kickoff. La Liga announced that the safety of the players could not be ensured due to the unsatisfactory condition of the newly installed pitch.

Player Concerns and Statements

Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla expressed his views on social media, stating, “The truth is La Liga is significantly behind the Premier League in all aspects.”

Additionally, Rayo Vallecano players voiced their discontent on Friday, urging the club to enhance the stadium facilities and provide better support for their supporters.

Call for a Decision

In the aftermath, Oviedo has appealed to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to declare them the winners of the match that was set to take place, although many view this request as highly unlikely to gain approval.
